Sea Animals Vocabulary and Listening Activities

Just let our children play even more with worksheets. This is the vocabulary set of cards. Students will be able to folow simple directions such as coloring. 

Teacher: Color the crab red!

Many games can be played with them as a practice of the motor skills. It is a listening activity to recycle the vocabulary from the unit. I used them for the simple bowling game using plastic soda bottles.

 Ask questions: What do you see?

Students: I see a seahorse.

Fine Motor and Vocabulary Practice

Fine motor skills practice is a must at this age. Simple tracing or coloring worksheets that can be turned into craft stick puppets to use for other activities in class. Tracing is a fine activity for the learning to learn competence.

Sea Animals Emotions Sorting Activities

Focus and visual discrimination can be mastered through the use of simple worksheets. It is a pre-reading and a pre-writing skill to develop.

This is a set of kindergarten emotions sorting worksheets for the students to identify and express the feelings.  Students recognize and talk about feelings while practicing ocean vocabulary. After cutting out the sea creature pictures, children sort them onto the happy, sad, and angry mats according to each character's facial expression. As students complete the activity, encourage them to describe their choices by saying sentences such as "The crab is happy," or "The jellyfish is sad." 

Make the worksheet more interactive. Students can color the sea creature worksheet, cut out the individual pictures. The sea creatures can be sorted on a table or displayed in a pocket chart, giving teachers flexible options for small-groups activities. Children can classify the cards by emotions by deciding whether each sea creature looks happy, sad, or angry, or they can sort them by type of sea creature, grouping together crabs, jellyfish, octopuses, starfish, shells, and other ocean animals. 

Students will use the verb to be in sentences: The pink jellyfish is sad.

Ask questions: Is the yellow starfish happy or sad?

Students: sad!

Use the worksheets for a quick assessment to check if your students recognize the feelings: happy, sad and angry. Students just color the sea creatures by themselves. Then, they can cut each item and play by putting them the magic box as they name each one.

Student: a red crab!

Have the students review how to describe the feelings by using this worksheet. I made a set of cups with the emotions words and also another set with the sea creature word.

Students put the cup of the emotion on each item. They can even make a simple sentence: The octopus is sad.

Practice Big and Small with Sea Animals

Send a worksheet home for the parents to do with the kids once in a while for them to see their progress. This adjectives big and small sorting the sea creatures one would be nice.

Sea Animals Numbers and Counting Activities

A set of worksheets to match numerals 1 to 10 to sets of jellyfishes. Students can also color the numbers as you dictate: Number five is green.

Student: This is number two. It's black.

Sea Animals also eat! 

Here is a set of worksheet where students draw what the that animal is eating. Activate their imagination with real or unreal food that those animals eat.

Ocean Scene Vocabulary Activity

Use the sea scene worksheet to do a little drawing and if you can do a little writing.

Place the worksheet into a clear plastic sheet and have the stduenst draw the sea animal on the sea using a white board marker that can be easily wipped off and reuse again. Students an use teh small cards as a guide to the drawing.

The good thing about using small cards or flashcards is that students get to write the word and draw.

Some students would love to trace the sea creature and the word.
