Zoo Preschool Activities

This Zoo activity pack includes tons of hands on re-usable activities that are perfect to compliment your zoo themed unit or your field trip! Inside each of my activity packs you will find an assortment of easy to assemble activities. You can easily turn these activities into a variety of hands on learning centers.

Help the children in your care learn literacy skills, and math skills. Some of the skills covered in this pack are: colors, shapes uppercase and lowercase letter identification, one to one correspondence, counting, and ordering numbers 1-10.

Take a Closer Look...

Giraffe Spot Shape Clip Cards

Did you know giraffes each have their own unique pattern? 
The giraffes on these clip cards each have their own unique pattern too! 
Invite your preschooler to identify and clip the matching shape on each card. 

What Color are the Zebra's Stripes Color Word Matching

Picture
This activity has two levels of learning to individualize the activity for children. Invite children to use the colored color words to match up to the same color zebra. For more of a challenge match-up the plain black color words to the zebras. 

Feed the Animals Sorting and Matching

Roll and race games are so much fun! Play individually or with a friend. Roll the playing cube and then move the animal that is shown. See which animal can reach the top first!

Pre-Writing/Cutting Practice

Feed the Elephants Uppercase and Lowercase Letter Matching Activity

Preschoolers will love counting up the animals in the zoo in this activity. Practice counting with one-to-one correspondence, then identify the matching numeral on the bottom and clip with a clothespin.

Tiger Counting Mats 1-10 with Frames

Invite your preschooler to practice numeral identification and subitizing. Read the number, count the tigers and place the same number of matching tigers in the ten frame. 
For older preschoolers, try covering the number at the top, invite them to announce the number of tigers in the frame. Some children will be able to tell you how many without counting, or subitize, others will use one-to-one correspondence to count and tell how many.

At the Zoo I Spy

Picture
I spy is a great way to work on visual discrimination skills with young children.  Giving clues for what children should look for gives the brain a workout!

Zoo First Sound Cards

Picture
Preschoolers are learning that each letter makes a sound. Invite your preschooler to work on this skill by identifying the beginning sound of zoo animals. 
**Teacher Tip: An important part of learning beginning sounds is simply encouraging children to create the sounds. Get silly with this activity, encourage children to say the name of the animals using each letter on the bottom as the beginning sound (Jaguar-maguar, gaguar, kaguar).  

Zoo Word Wall Cards

Picture
These zoo word wall cards have so many uses! 
This week try hanging them around your space and use them to sort small zoo animals.
