Zoo Animals / Zootiere: Draw the lines 1 for English class (worksheet)

On this worksheet, children draw lines to match English animal names with the corresponding pictures. They practice the zoo animals taught in primary school English lessons – from lion and zebra to rarer animals such as sloth, platypus and armadillo. Each word matches exactly one picture.

What is included in the material

• Worksheets with English animal names and pictures of animals to match with lines
• Answer keys for all worksheets
• Information page with suggestions for use in class

Tips for using the material

• It may be useful to use one worksheet at the beginning of the lesson as a relaxed warm-up.
• For consolidation during the main part of the lesson, the worksheets can be used for individual work or as one station in a rotation.
• The worksheets are also suitable for individual support lessons.

The following skills are developed

• Vocabulary: correctly matching English names for zoo animals such as hippopotamus, penguin and chameleon
• Reading: recognizing English animal names by their appearance
• Close observation: distinguishing between similar animals such as leopard, panther and cheetah or llama and alpaca

To complement these, there is Draw the Lines 2, with fewer pairs on each page, Draw the Lines 3, for matching German to English, and the Vocabulary Worksheet 1, on which the words are written out.
