 An optional resource to review the theme. So many teachers love this kind of materials as an extension for learning.

There is a set of zoo animal worksheets that can be turned into small flashcards for your students to keep for games or to take home. Use them to collaborate to memorize the new vocabulary in the zoo unit. You can make the readers to make it fun to read the print word and to recognize the zoo animal picture.

The cards can be sorted into the category of the amount of legs the zoo animals have.

A couple of easy and fun review of the colors by number worksheets.

                  

There is a set of the zookeepers to color their clothes as a review of that unit and more words to label.Gluing is an essential skill to practice in class.

Worksheets reinforce concepts already learned during the English class. The body unit is usually taught before the animals. Students will identify animals body parts.

Worksheets usually need little assistance from you. Students can easily trace the face of each zoo animal in the color that you or they dictate. They can also color the word and cut the animals’ faces by themselves. And even more match the word to each zoo animal.

Use the worksheets to check student progress in the language. Use this set of worksheets as a listening opportunity. Give instructions for coloring  each zoo animal and the race car.
Teacher: What is it?
Students: It's a lion.
Color the lion yellow! Color the race car green.
Go even further by having the students label the cars with a number.
Teacher: The car with the lion is number one!
What number is this?
Students can cut the zoo animals in the cars and glue them onto toilet paper rolls and make a race! Add puppets to your lesson plan for speking interaction for your students.

I added several cutouts to add a spark on the race.

And there is another set of zoo animals in jeeps. It goes along a printable book added to this resource. You can use the book to read as the students color the jeeps. There is a zoo animal words printable to label the pictures in the worksheets.

Peer learning can be done with the zoo scene. Give a set of worksheets to a group of two or three students so they can assemble their zoo in any way they want.

A Zoo Number review using this set of worksheets that can be done by groups. I created a poster by gluing them in a vertical way.Ask the students to count the animals next to each number.

Teacher: How many lions are there?

Students: There are five lions.

More numbers as students match the monkey numbers cards to the words for strong number sense ability. Have the students color the numbers as you indicate.
Teacher: Color number 1 green!
They can finish coloring the pictures.

Help develop number sense at this learning stage with even more practice with the penguins. Dictate the color of each number and then students glue the word next to each number. Even further, have the students cut all the penguins and place them in numerical order.

 You can use the worksheets as you teach this concept with the flashcards or cutouts. Students will associate the zoo animal to what they eat as they draw those items.

Help your students express their emotions or feelings in English with the basics such as happy, sad or angry to collaborate to their Emotional Intelligence though the zoo animals.
Ask questions:  Is the lion happy or sad?
Students: happy! The lion is happy!

Shapes are everywhere in real life, let your students recognize the shapes with the zoo animals by paying attention to the details. After the worksheets are done, I had the students sort the zoo animals by shapes.

Use the worksheets to have the students remember concepts taught during the school year. There is a worksheet to draw the favorite zoo animal that can then be used to make a graph.

A set of coloring worksheets, use them as a listeing activity. Hand them in in random order and say: The zoo animals are at school!  Who has the elephant? Color the elephant gray!

Go on with the other animals.
