Tarzan Movie Guide | Worksheet | Questions | Google Slides (G - 1999)

This Tarzan Movie Guide | Worksheet | Questions | Google Slides (G - 1999) turns this fun, entertaining, crowd-pleaser into an educational experience. Think critically about the tough decisions that Tarzan and Jane are forced to make. Weigh the pros and cons for Jane’s decision to stay. Learn from the struggles that Tarzan goes through as he tries to fit in even though he doesn’t look like his gorilla family. Think like a director and identify how Tarzan’s body language demonstrates his disbelief in his own actions after he restrains Kerchak.

Note: This activity is great for class parties or a substitute lesson plan. It is suitable for young ages since it is rated G but will keep the attention of upper elementary students as well.
