Here is a fun game you can play with your friends:
1. Go to the Kids Zoo page.
2. Get 6 small pieces of paper.
3. On one side of one piece of paper write the name of an animal type, for example the fish.
4. On the other blank side of that same piece of paper write a fact about that animal.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have all 6 animals on pieces of paper.
6. Now take a larger piece of paper and write all 6 facts you chose on that piece.
7. Place each small piece of paper on a table top with the animal name facing up.
Now take turns trying to match a fact from the large piece of paper to one of the animals on a small piece of paper. Check your answers by looking at the back side of the animal pieces. The person with the most correct answers wins.
