It’s the perfect time of year to visit the zoo. Our zoo I spy game is always a fun activity to do before going to the zoo and seeing your favorite animals. Get your kids or students excited to go by finding all the hidden animals in our I spy game. Or even bring the I spy game to the zoo and color or check off the animals as you go.
An alternative is to simply use this at-home or as a classroom activity. Seek and find all fourteen zoo animals. This I spy game is a perfect way to learn about animals from all over the world. It can also can be used as a fun brain buster. Study the sheet and try to find all the animals. A great preschool or kindergarten activity to practice counting and observational skills.
Our I spy games are great for long car rides or as a rainy day activity. Just print the I spy printable and you’re ready to learn and play. If you want to make this activity reusable, slip it into a dry erase sleeve and use dry erase markers to complete it. Or laminate! I don’t use anything fancy or complex, just a simple and easy laminator. This is the laminator I use and recommend. Use your zoo game again and again without having to re-print.
This I Spy Game printable includes fourteen different animals your little one might see at the zoo:
- Penguin
- Zebra
- Lion
- Camel
- Rhinoceros
- Giraffe
- Panda
- Monkey
- Gorilla
- Tiger
- Hippopotamus
- Snake
- Elephant
- Flamingo
