• Write the animal name (3 sheets)

If you aren’t sure of an animal name, check the corresponding flash card in the

An answer key is included for each of the 3 puzzles.

The animal vocabulary at the bottom can be cut off to make it more challenging.
The stars on the top right indicate difficulty and vocabulary set.

These animals are less commonly known and can be used as extra vocabulary.
Students fill in the blanks with the names of the animals.
