This worksheet is great as a quiet-time activity. It’s perfect for rainy days at home, solo work in the classroom, or even something to hand out to keep kids busy on a long car ride.
But it’s also a great fit for group play. You can use it as activity during an animal-themed birthday party, have it be part of a playdate, or even offer it as a quieter calm activity for gatherings with friends and family.
If you’re going to play it with a group of kids, there are a couple of different ways you can do so. Some might enjoy a bit of friendly competition to see who can complete the quiz first! Of course, getting the most answers correct too. But others might prefer a more collaborative version, where the whole group can work together to decide on their final answer. It can be really fun to hear the debate and the thoughts behind their guesses. This also works well to educate kids who wouldn’t have known the animal in the picture too!
We also have a few ideas for how the picture quiz can be used in different situations.
Pair it with a trip to the zoo! It would be a great introduction to do this quiz beforehand and it will get kids in the mood to learn about animals. They will also likely be able to spot some of the animals included while at the zoo!
You could also pair the picture quiz with a non-fiction book about animals. Every time someone guesses an animal, they must consult the book and share a fun fact about that animal with others playing or with you. It’s a great way to learn more!
For a creative twist, when you have completed all of the quizzes that the resource includes, task the kids to draw their own animal picture quiz. They can draw part of an animal – either an eye like this quiz, or they could pick something different like a tail, an ear, or even a skin texture close up. Then others must guess what it is! This is a great artistic and creative spin for the game.
The Benefits of Playing
These picture quizzes are excellent for many different reasons.
Visual reasoning – kids get to exercise their observational skills and they have the chance to notice different patterns between groups of animals in the quiz.
Critical thinking – a key skill for life. Kids have to look at the picture and consider what they already know or might remember, then they have to make an educated guess.
Animal identification – the quiz works to improve their skill of recognizing different animals. The quiz will strengthen this skill for the future while ensuring they’re also learning new things.
Memory recall – kids will have to try remember if they have seen the animal before, or if they recognize it or something similar.
Let’s face it, kids love animals. They capture their imaginations in such a specific way, no matter whether they’re a fluffy and cute animal lover, a creepy crawly insect lover, or somewhere in the middle. That’s why this is a fun resource, as well as a great learning one.
