Teacher notes
- Call the animal word, or make its sound. Children read the boards and cover the word.
- Six boards are different from each other, so with two to six players there is always more than one close finish.
- Cover squares with counters, torn paper, beans or bottle tops, not pens, so the sheets can be reused.
- For large classes, print one set per group of six and let the winner become the caller.
- Variation: children say the word aloud as they cover it.
