with the small cards will have the students master the sense of progress. They can
add as many cards with the zoo animals as they wish. These small cards serve as
a visual aid. Easy to associate the zoo animal word to the picture.
Print and cut the cards that you will
need. There are more than 50 animals to choose from.
Capture your learners' interest and motivation with this simply easy game. Cut the word out of each small card and have the student match the picture to the word. It would be fun to do in small groups helping ELLs remember the new vocabulary.

Students: The lion has a long tail. The rhino
