Animal Matching

Have students start at the bottom of the mat and jump on the baby animal side, name the baby then jump to the matching adult and name it. Continue down the mat matching each set of animals.

To make it a little more challenging, cover the name of each adult animal so the students have to think of the name as they match them.
