Why do family members look alike?

Plant & Animal Superpowers Unit | Lesson 4 of 6

# Optional Activity: Matchup Game

In this game, you match animal mothers to their babies. Here's how to play with a group:

Each person gets an envelope.
Open your envelope and look for your match: mothers find their babies and babies find their mothers.
When everyone has found a match, show them to the rest of the class.

See the Extensions at the end of this lesson for variations on the game.

Below are ideas for extending this topic beyond the activity & exploration you just completed.

# Baby Animal Matchup Game (variations)

For homeschool or small classes, print out one of copy of each page, cut out the cards, and have students match mothers and babies.
Have students try to find their match by acting out their animals. (No talking or showing others the picture of their animal.)
Have a discussion about the sounds that different animals make. Then have students try to find their match by making the animal's sound. (Don't forget — babies and parents may not make the same sound!) .
