This matching activity is an example of the kind of vocabulary-building exercise that you’ll find in All About Reading. How Does This Activity Fit into an AAR lesson? By finding the matching pairs, younger pupils will learn the names of baby animals and begin to see which offspring look like their parents and which undergo changes. You can help your child build her vocabulary by reading and discussing the words together as she finds each match. A great game for pupils to use to develop their knowledge of animals and their young. Then help the baby animals find their mommas. Place each card in the appropriate “Mother” or “Baby” group. First have your child cut out the animal cards and the Mother and Baby labels. Match the Baby Animals with Their Mommas! Match mothers with their babies using this cut and paste worksheet. What better time of year to discuss baby animals and their mothers than Mothers Day Have your little ones study the baby animals in the left column which includes a chick, calf, lamb, duckling, and foal and match them with the correct mother animal in the right column that includes a horse, chicken, goose, sheep and cow. This exposure will help build your child’s vocabulary, thereby increasing her reading comprehension. Our Mother and Baby Animals Matching Cards consist of twenty different animals that your class then has to match with the correct baby. Clue: Each baby name can be used only once Pig. At the same time, your child will become familiar with names for baby animals that she may not have heard before. Match the animals in column one with the name of their babies.

I was also delighted to learn that there are special names for many animal babies.ĭid you know that a baby platypus is called a puggle? Or that a baby grouse is called a cheeper? Such fun words! When I was growing up, I was always enchanted by the special bond between animal moms and their babies. In honor of moms everywhere, we have a special downloadable activity sheet today: “ Baby Animal Names!” (The names are on the bottom of the Safari Ltd animals, which is how I now we have Holstein cows.) Say: This baby is called a lamb.
