App 10: The Polyglots at the Pet Park
Animal scrambler
Learning intentions:
We are learning how to name types of pets in [target language].
Success criteria:
I can identify different types of pets in [target language].
Resources:
App 10, App 10 guide, animal images, scissors, glue, A3 poster paper, counters, graph/grid paper, colour pencils
Visual Arts
Provide students with templates which contain faint ruled lines for either a 3 x 3 puzzle or a 4 x 4 puzzle. Students can draw and colour an animal as they wish. They can label their animal using the target language. Stick completed drawings onto thicker paper, let dry and then carefully cut out each square to form the puzzle tiles. Students can then recreate the Animal scrambler activity and take it in turns to complete different puzzles.
