Animal Adaptations Card Game
Print two copies of the cards and paste on posterboard to
make a deck of cards to play Go Fish, review the vocabulary, or play Memory.
Go Fish:
Students each get 2 or 3 cards dealt to them. Going clockwise students try to match up their
cards by asking other students if they have a matching card. There are two basic dialogues for playing fish.
It doesn't really matter which dialogue you use.
Dialogue structure 1:
A: Do you have an animal with tusks?
B: Yes, I do. (No, I don't. Go fish.)
A: Is it a walrus?
B: Yes, it is. (No, it isn't. Go fish.)
Dialogue structure 2:
A: Does your animal have antlers?
B: Yes, it does? (No, it doesn't. Go fish.)
A: Is it an elk?
B: Yes, it is. (No, it isn't. Go fish.)
There are 57 cards in total so a full deck with 2 cards per
animal would be 114 cards, which is a rather large deck. You may want
to only focus on some traits or limit the deck to two animals per trait instead of three.
