With this resource, children learn about a fun game called ‘Sudoku’, but with a twist! Instead of numbers, it uses animal pictures! *Explain how to play to your class with these fun instructions. * Imagine a big square, with 4 little boxes in a row and 4 little boxes in a column. That makes it 4 by 4. We have 10 different puzzles, each with a special animal theme: Squirrels - Cute little creatures with bushy tails! Animal Sounds x 2 - Match the first letter with the animal! Like ‘E’ for Elephant! Bears - Cuddly animals. Tigers - Striped big cats that roar! Fish - Animals that live in the water and swim around! Under the Sea - Discover different animals living beneath the waves! On the Farm - Say hello to the friendly animals living on a farm! Flying High - Look up to find birds and animals that fly in the sky! Animals - A mix of all kinds of animals! Blank Template - Create your own Sudoku with your favourite animals! On each work sheet, animals already make up a puzzle. Your job is to make your own picture puzzle in the empty grids. If you like, you can also count and colour the pictures on the ready made puzzles to make sure they are correct. Each row (that’s the line going across) can only have one of each animal! No duplicates allowed! Each column (that’s the line going up and down) also can only have one of each animal! And of course, each little box of 4 inside the big box can only have one of each animal too! Ready to have some fun and solve the animal Sudoku puzzles? Let’s get started!
