How many legs does a lion have? What about a bird? How many legs does a snake have? A counting assignment prompts kindergartners to sort the animals by the amount of legs they have. After kids finish matching, they can color the animals and the boat. Especially neat as a counting lesson or for a Noah's Ark unit in a Sunday school class, or any primary class for that matter!
