This fits with any Animal themed work and is cross-curricular. These 10 sets are: Wild Animals Pets Farm Animals Birds Nocturnal Animals Sea Animals Rainforest Animals Desert Animals Mammals Small Animals and Insects Each card is an activity in itself where children can name the animals and match the names to the numbered photographs. Alternatively, I like to show the pictures on the Smart Board and give children a writing template (included) and play a time limited quiz. Very useful too, for English Language Learning.
