Animal

Classification
Game
The challenge of this game is to learn about
various animal classifications. They have been
divided up into 6 groups – Amphibians, Reptiles,
Mammals, Fish, Birds, and Insects.

How to play:

First, divide up your board (which can be a table,


the floor, a poster board, etc) into six areas –
using tape or string. Put an animal group name in
each box.

From there, figure out what characteristic go


with which group and then put the picture cards
provided into the appropriate box that they belong
to.

An answer key is found at the end of this pack.
