We made a game! Remember the standing paper I've used before? Well, we used it to make a habitat game. We first made four habitats using different colored paper, crayons, markers and sequins. We drew some of the details on white paper, like the trees for the forest and the cactus for the desert and glued them onto their habitats. We glued all the habitats together with a paper handle added to the middle. I wrote the names of the animals on paper circles and glued them onto bottle tops. Each student wrote on a white sheet of paper which animals lived in each habitat, for example, in the desert, there are snakes, lizards and spiders, and glued the paper on the bottom of all the habitats.
Students then played the game. They had to mix the animal names up, and we timed how fast they could place them in the correct habitat. They were excited to see how fast they could do it. It was a fun way for them to not only practice thinking and discussing each habitat but to also practice reading, writing, and their fine motor skills. We all thought the final result looked amazing and the kids had a blast. It was also easy to take home because of the paper handle we added.
