Connecting children to the living world, this large-format educational chart presents the six kingdoms of life through vivid photographic examples and Spanish-language descriptions, supporting the Montessori elementary biology curriculum. The organized grid layout with clear headers allows children to explore and compare the characteristics of each kingdom, from microscopic bacteria to complex animals, fostering scientific classification skills and understanding of life's diversity.
“Education is a natural process spontaneously carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but by experiences upon the environment.”
The Seis Reinos chart introduces young children to the fundamental classification of all living things through concrete visual representations. This large-format educational poster presents six distinct kingdoms with photographic examples that children can observe and compare directly.
- Recognize and name the six kingdoms of life in Spanish
- Identify characteristics that distinguish each kingdom from others

The organized grid layout of Seis Reinos allows children to see patterns and differences across kingdoms, from the simplest bacteria to complex plants and animals they encounter daily. By presenting real photographs rather than illustrations, this chart connects abstract classification concepts to observable reality. The Spanish-language descriptions on Seis Reinos honor linguistic diversity while building scientific vocabulary. Through systematic exploration of each kingdom's section, children develop the ability to categorize living things based on shared characteristics. The visual organization of Seis Reinos satisfies the young child's need to order and classify their expanding knowledge of the natural world.
How to present it
Follow the Montessori method of presentation for optimal child development.
Mount the Seis Reinos chart at child's eye level on a wall or easel. Place a small basket with magnifying glasses nearby. Prepare cards with additional organism pictures for sorting activities.
- 1
Begin with kingdoms containing familiar organisms (Animalia, Plantae). Point to photographs while naming each kingdom in Spanish
Let children share examples of animals or plants they know before revealing the chart's examples - 2
Explore one kingdom thoroughly, examining each photograph and discussing observable features
Use a pointer or finger to trace along the grid lines, emphasizing the chart's organization - 3
Compare organisms across kingdoms, asking 'How is this mushroom different from this flower?'
Focus on concrete, visible differences rather than abstract cellular structures - 4
Play sorting games with picture cards, having children place them near the corresponding kingdom
