Caribbean Animals Word Work

These resources, designed with the EYFS and KS1 curricula in mind, boost children’s literacy and knowledge of the world around them, with an engaging theme of Caribbean wildlife.
The word search asks children to find and mark off 10 animals found in the Caribbean region including the pelican, flamingo and hummingbird. Each animal name is hidden within the grid, ensuring a challenging activity that will enhance spelling and vocabulary. For peer-assessment and self-checking, an answer sheet is provided.
The included work sheets are differentiated to meet the varying abilities and learning styles of the children in your class.
1 Trace and Colour: Children can trace the words of 8 different Caribbean animals, improving their handwriting skills. They can also colour in the corresponding pictures of the animals.
2 Write and Colour: This worksheet requires children to write the names of the animals independently. This helps to reinforce their spelling and handwriting skills. The colouring task remains, making the sheet a fun activity.
3 Draw and Trace: This worksheet encourages children to draw the animals, encouraging attention to detail. They can also trace the words of the animals, reinforcing handwriting skills.
