Enhance your 1st-3rd graders visit to the zoo by having them work in teams or alone to search out the answers for this scavenger hunt.  When students take the time to read signs and write down the answers you automatically have topics to discuss in the classroom after your visit to the zoo. 

Playing is important to children and animals.  Use this scavenger hunt to guide your 2nd - 3rd grade groups' play into learning activities.  Students will enjoy hunting for the answers by reading signs throughout the zoo and teachers will have teaching points for the classroom.

Ever wonder why animals do some of the strange things they do?  Do they need a time-out or is this just normal behavior?  Teachers in 2nd-3rd  grade classrooms spend a lot of time talking about the way students should act in class.  Reinforce that message by answering questions about why animals behave the way they do.  "Wild Behavior" gives teachers the opportunity to discuss animal behavior and adaptations.

For 4th-5th graders, we offer a little more challenging scavenger hunt that examines animal behavior and adaptations.  "Wild Behavior" challenges students to think about what animals do and why.  This activity could be used as a writing prompt for research projects or creative writing activities.  Please feel free to share your results with us – email [email protected].
