Teacher of english primary one

Learning about zoo animals and their eating habits makes English learners review the vocabulary related to animals, food, and eating behaviors.

There is a set of small cards in color for making a sorting activity. Includes the animals and the food.

Exploring how zoo animals eat provides English learners the opportunity to describe their observations on what and how the animal’s eating habits. I used a pizza box as a sorting mat.

Place the animal cards on the top line of the box and then have the students place what the animals eat cards under each animal.

 You can also have the learners sort the cards into carnivores, omnivores and herbivores

Teaching English learners about zoo animals incorporates elements of science enhancing their overall knowledge and understanding of the natural world. Use the set of worksheets to do their own sorting mat for these animals.

Exploring how zoo animals eat can stimulate critical thinking as they start coloring and gluing the cards on the cardboard. It can be an individual lesson or a group activity.If your students created one, please show me!

And find here a list of what zoo animals eat.

Print and display the cards to introduce the vocabulary related to what food animals eat. Place several flashcards on the board.
Teacher: What is number 1?
Students: It´s a giraffe.
Teacher: What does the giraffe eat? (Have the students guess and say what they know even if in the native language)
Then, start placing the food cards.
Teacher: The giraffes eat leaves, twigs and fruit. (Emphasize leaves, twigs, fruit).   Continue with the other flashcards.

Place the food cards and have the students place the common animals that eat that food.

Sort the food that the animals eat. Have the students make and write sentences. Give examples.

Teacher: The kangaroo and the elephant eat grass. They don´t eat fish.

Use the cards to review countable and uncountable nouns related to the food the zoo animals eat.
