These clip cards are a great way for students to practice their recognition of herbivore, carnivores and omnivores using a multiple choice system. 32 cards are included. Each card has three possible answers. Students select the correct answer by clipping a clothespin, peg or paper clip to it. Answer sheet included so pupils can self check their work. I like to laminate these cards so students can simply circle the correct answer using a dry erase marker. Alternatively, you can print these on paper to hand out to your class at the end of the lesson; pupils circle the correct answer and hand in as a great exit ticket or plenary to the lesson.
