Animal Sorting Game - FIND MY HOME!

Find My Home! Animal Sorting game - Tea Time Monkeys

Your little ones can learn about where different animals live with this animal sorting game! Pick a habitat and corresponding animal checklist and try to find all the animals that live there!

HOW TO PLAY:

Each player takes a habitat board and corresponding animal checklist. Place the animal cards face down in the middle.
Children take turns to turn over an animal card. If it matches an animal on their checklist they place it on their habitat board.
If it doesn’t match, they place it face down in the middle. Play then passes to the next player.
The first player to find all the animals for their habitat wins. Play continues until all the players have found their animals!

This simple game is easily portable and space-saving; ideal for 2 - 4 players and suitable for 3 - 7 year olds. It can also be used as a science center prop or as a simple sorting mat activity.

Includes files in both A4 and letter size paper. The game is also available in Spanish (see end of post).
