Sample Animal Behavior Flashcard

Animal Behavior Card Game

Print two copies of the cards and paste on posterboard to make a deck of cards to play Go Fish, review the vocabulary, or play Memory.

Go Fish:
Students each get 2 or 3 cards dealt to them. Going clockwise students try to match up their cards by asking other students if they have a matching card. There are two basic dialogues for playing fish. It doesn't really matter which dialogue you use:

Dialogue structure 1:
A: Is your animal nocturnal?
B: Yes, it is? (No, it isn't. Go fish.)
A: Is it a fruit bat?
B: Yes, it is. (No, it isn't. Go fish.)

Dialogue structure 2:
A: Do you have a solitary animal?
B: Yes, I do. (No, I don't. Go fish.)
A: Is it a cougar?
B: Yes, it is. (No, it isn't. Go fish.)
