This activity helps children learn to empathise with the needs of animals, including working animals like galgos, whose needs are very similar to our own needs. Children discuss, draw, write and act their ideas as they explore what it means to be kind. Available in English and Spanish. Age group: 7-9 years old Time required: 45-60 minutes You will need: A4 paper, pens or pencils, space to sit and discuss or role-play classroom blackboard or whiteboard.

If you have been learning about Galgos then you will know how important it is to find them homes where they can be looked after and loved as part of a family. Use this activity with younger children to create ‘WANTED’ posters for family homes for our rescued galgos. Older children can create campaign posters to raise awareness of the plight of the galgo, and to help stop galgos being ill-treated and abandoned.
