Guest post from Language Lizard Press, Read Your World’s 2024 Platinum Sponsor.
Mark the advent of spring with the exploration of some of Earth’s most diverse biomes and the plants and animals that call them home. Using these fun and informative worksheets, children will learn specific habitat vocabulary, brainstorm how the animals might feel, and introduce the concept of climate change and the importance of conservation.
What Are They Thinking?
Write in the speech bubbles what the animals might be thinking based on the following questions:
- How do you think they feel when they are living in their habitat?
- How might that change with the weather (when it’s very hot or cold)?
- What are the animal(s) doing on this page? How are their actions helpful for their survival?
