Zoo animals have a body

 This resource is included in the Zoo Animals for EFL at this link: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Zoo-Animals-Flashcards-for-EFL-3611842

Place a zoo animal flashcard on the board and write the parts of the body.
Hand in more flashcards and have the students do the same using your model.
Have the students say which body parts are similar to a person and which are different.
Teacher: Which body parts are similar to ours?
Students: eye, nose, mouth, ear, leg!
Teacher: Which body parts are different to ours?
Students: whiskers, fur, paw, tail!

Then place 2 flashcards, write the body parts, the similar ones in one color and the different ones in another. Talk about the difference between the animals. I suggest you read a little before doing this and use my research table and complete it even more.
Teacher: Which body parts are the same?
Students: head, eye, ears, legs, feet, tail, claws!
Teacher: yes! But, Which head is bigger?
Students: The bear´s head is bigger.
Teacher: Which body parts are different?
Students: fur, feathers, snout, beak!
Teacher: yes! But, Which animal has fur?
Students: The bear has fur.
And continue with more questions!

Write body parts words and have the students sort the zoo animal flashcards by their characteristics, such as tails, beak, horn, stripes, scales.
Animals have similar and different body parts. Have the students sort out the flashcards depending on a body part.
Teacher: Which animals have tails?
Students: Lions, monkeys, kangaroo!
 

Sort the animals by the tail using the adjectives long and short to describe the tail of the animals: The monkey has a long tail. The penguin has a short tail.

Sort the zoo animals by the length of the arms.

Sort the zoo animals by the size of the ears.

Draw a Venn Diagram on the board, have the students understand what it is for. Compare any two animals that you want. I made an example. Students should give you details of what they observe that are different between them and what is the same or common.

Place the animal flashcards on the board in random order. Have the students order them by size.
Ask questions:
Teacher: Which is the first animal?
Students: The elephant.
Teacher: Which is the second animal?
Students: The giraffe.
Teacher: Which animal comes next?
Students: The camel.

Cut the animal flashcards in 2 or in 4.  I made these without borders or words. Hand them out randomly. Have the students stand up and walk around asking the classmates for the match to complete the card.

Student: Do you have the camel ?

Cut the body parts in each animal flashcard.

Set up a table on the board with only the body part word. Have the students come up and place each body part under each word.
