What educators are saying

I used this product with my after-school club. The students loved it! We made booklets with the different animal tracks that they could take home and use whenever they come across animal tracks!

    Why use this resource?

    This is a great game to get children learning about animals and their behavior or beginning to learn how to track animals in the wilderness. It's also a great way to teach animal adaptations and how animals survive in their environment. This resource is great to get your class outside in any weather, but especially on snowy or muddy days.

    How to use:

    Animal Tracks Poster

    The poster will be great as classroom decor or as a notebook guide for students. If you plan on bringing it outdoors, I'd recommend laminating a classroom copy.

    Animal Tracks Three-Part Flashcards:

    After downloading the resource you will need to cut out the flashcards and matching game. Print an extra copy of the matching game to keep for yourself as an answer key. The animals and their tracks directly follow one another.

    Animal Tracks Memory Matching Game

    The matching game can be played in many different ways. Here are two examples I like using with my students.

    • Testing your knowledge, which animal track goes with which animal?
    • Memory game: Place all cards face down on a hard surface. Then, select two cards at a time. If they match, set them aside. If they do not match, flip them face down again. Continue until all matches are found.

    Animal Tracks Visual Counting Worksheets:

    After working with all of the resources above, test your students' knowledge with the Animal Tracks Visual Counting Worksheets. They will need 4 colored writing utensils (red, blue, green, and pink) to complete the worksheet. Students, first, must circle the corresponding animal track with the color instructed on the worksheet. After, they will count how many tracks they found for each animal.

    Track Around the Classroom:

    After downloading the resource you will need to cut out the animal cards and hide them around your classroom.

    If your students are working in groups, print one animal track packet per group. If your students are working individually, print an animal track packet per student. Each student will also need their own copy of the Track Around the Room Worksheets.

    Once everything is set up instruct your class that there are animals around the classroom and they will need to use the tracks in their packets to find them. Once they find an animal, they will need to record the animal's name and some information about the animal on their worksheets.

    Once all of the students have found all of the animals there is an animal research flipbook template. Students can choose one animal to research further and create a flipbook.

    When purchasing the bundle you SAVE 30%.

    NGSS1-LS1-1
    Use materials to design a solution to a human problem by mimicking how plants and/or animals use their external parts to help them survive, grow, and meet their needs. Examples of human problems that can be solved by mimicking plant or animal solutions could include designing clothing or equipment to protect bicyclists by mimicking turtle shells, acorn shells, and animal scales; stabilizing structures by mimicking animal tails and roots on plants; keeping out intruders by mimicking thorns on branches and animal quills; and, detecting intruders by mimicking eyes and ears.
    NGSS3-LS4-3
    Construct an argument with evidence that in a particular habitat some organisms can survive well, some survive less well, and some cannot survive at all. Examples of evidence could include needs and characteristics of the organisms and habitats involved. The organisms and their habitat make up a system in which the parts depend on each other.
    NGSS2-LS4-1
    Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats. Emphasis is on the diversity of living things in each of a variety of different habitats. Assessment does not include specific animal and plant names in specific habitats.
    NGSS3-LS3-2
    Use evidence to support the explanation that traits can be influenced by the environment. Examples of the environment affecting a trait could include normally tall plants grown with insufficient water are stunted; and, a pet dog that is given too much food and little exercise may become overweight.
    NGSSK-LS1-1
    Use observations to describe patterns of what plants and animals (including humans) need to survive. Examples of patterns could include that animals need to take in food but plants do not; the different kinds of food needed by different types of animals; the requirement of plants to have light; and, that all living things need water.
