Matching animals to their habitat - KS1/KS2

This lesson is part of a wider cross-curricula unit called London Zoo which is designed for KS1 and lower KS2 students (Y2-4).

The animals have escaped at the zoo and the keeper needs your help! The presentation first encourages students to describe the features of animals. It then challenges students to match animals to their names, description and habitat. It includes a variety of animals including fish, birds, mammals, insects and amphibians.

There is a group activity and an individual activity:

Group Activity:
Students match animals to their names, description and habitat (KS1 and KS2 versions).

Individual Activity:
Students match animals to their names, description and habitat on a worksheet. This is differentiated three ways:

Easier – Students match animals to their habitats.
Medium – Students match animals to their description and habitat.
Harder – Students fill in the names of the animals and match them to their description and habitat.
Extension – Students classify animals as fish, birds, mammals, insects or amphibians.
