This animal charades game for kids is such a FUN way to get your students moving and using their imagination! The charade cards have both pictures and words so children that are not quite reading yet reading can still participate. Cut out the rectangles with the animal pictures and words to be guessed and place them upside down in a pile or in a container. Take turns drawing a card and acting it out (without talking) in front of your audience until someone guesses it correctly. If students can’t guess correctly, you could have your students imitate the animal noise until students guess correctly. You can make up your own rules to best fit the needs of your students.

Students can also have fun sorting the animals into categories. A zoo animal and farm animal work mat is placed in this pack for sorting. You may choose to use the recording sheet to follow up on this sorting activity.

You will receive the following:

• animal sorting mats for zoo animals and farm animals
• animal sorting cards
• differentiated recording sheets with primary and secondary lines
• directions for a charades game
• suggested ideas for using the animal cards

A couple of more great ideas for using these animal cards is to make a memory game by copying two sets of animal cards. Simply mix up the cards and place them upside down. Have students flip two cards and see if they match. As students take turns flipping two cards they will try to remember where their animal matches are placed. The person with the most matches at the end of the game wins.

You could also use two or more sets of animal cards for grouping students together for certain projects or activities. Pass out all the animal cards and have students find their animal match and they can work on the assigned activity together.
