Guess Who?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Getting ready for a instructional activity on animal adaptations can be a  lot of fun. Kindergartners will go on an egg hunt. Once they have collected all the eggs, they will open them up to reveal an image of an animal. Each pupil will act out their animals while the others guess who they are. This will lead into a discussion on various animal adaptations. This is more of a warm-up than a instructional activity and most appropriate for younger grades.
