How to Use Safari Flashcards with Children
Introduce one animal at a time: Start by picking one animal card and discussing it in detail with your child.
Tell them about the animal’s habitat, eating habits, behavior, and physical characteristics.
You could also use this time to correct any misconceptions your child may have about the animal and even read books and watch videos about that particular animal.
I like to play exciting safari music to set the tone for an activity like this. Your children will love this.
Use the cards for fun and interactive activities: These cards can also be used for games, such as a scavenger hunt, where your child has to locate the animal in the house in a book or photo.
You can even purchase safari animal figures to hide for your children to find.
Reinforce learning with fun activities: Let your child color in their favorite animal using these safari animal coloring pages, create a safari diorama, or even make animal puppets for a puppet show.
These activities can help reinforce learning and encourage creativity.
Take the flashcards with you into the wild on a trip to the zoo or a wildlife park. Encourage your children to look for the animals on the flashcards and describe what they see.
