Why use this resource?

This is a great game to get children learning about animals and their behavior or beginning to learn how to track animals in the wilderness. It’s also a great way to teach animal adaptations and how animals survive in their environment. This resource can be used as group work as well which will help build teamwork in your classroom.

How to play:

After downloading the resource you will need to cut out the animal cards and hide them around your classroom.

If your students are working in groups, print one animal track packet per group. If your students are working individually, print an animal track packet per student. Each student will also need their own copy of the Track Around the Room Worksheets.

Once everything is set up instruct your class that there are animals around the classroom and they will need to use the tracks in their packets to find them. Once they find an animal, they will need to record the animal’s name and some information about the animal on their worksheets.

Once all of the students have found all of the animals there is an animal research flipbook template. Students can choose one animal to research further and create a flipbook.
