{FREE} Antarctic Animals BINGO

Learn about what animals live in Antarctica with this {FREE} Antarctic Animals BINGO game!


Play with your family during winter break or your students as part of a winter theme, polar animals theme, or Antarctica theme!

What lives in Antarctica?

What lives in Antarctica? Actually, a lot! As you play you will meet a lot of birds--everything from penguins to a wandering albatross (who has an 8+ foot wingspan)! You will also see whales, seals, and even invertebrates!

As we play, I love to point out geography on a map or globe and common misconceptions. For example, Antarctica has a climate very similar to the Arctic, but there are no penguins in the arctic and no polar bears in the antarctic!

In addition to BINGO-style games, you can cut up the cards and make a set of memory cards or play Old-Maid-style games too! These are fun to use to learn about what lives in Antarctica, and how that is different than the animals that live in most places we normally visit!

To play like BINGO, decide if your kiddos have attention spans for the 9- or 16-square cards, and give one to each child. There are four different 9-square cards and 6 different 16-square cards -- if you have more players, print a "blank" board for each child also, and let your children cut up the pictures and paste them onto the blank board to make their own unique playing cards.

All the animals in the game live in Antarctica or the waters around Antarctica. Some live in additional places too. For example, you can find elephant seals in Antarctica and along the coast of California, though they do have some differences. Macaroni penguins live on the tip of Antarctica, in the waters around the continent, and on the tip of South America.

So...let's get to the game!

Science Experiment: Elephant Toothpaste

By -

Update: "Elephant toothpaste" is a science experiment that I used to do with my high school students.  It is a strong multi-sensory demonstration that goes great with a lot of chemistry concepts. It is also very popular with preschoolers and homeschoolers!  The internet loves it too! It has now been read by more than 3.9 million people! This was the post that started the trend on science activity sites across the internet and "irl!"  Thank you for being here...I hope you enjoy it as well!  💕  This exciting science experiment works great in a discussion on reactions, as a demonstration, or as an actual experiment. We've also done seasonal twists with "elephant toothpaste" like making it in a pumpkin and using it for " reindeer toothpaste !" To use it as a science project, perform it once with your child, then ask your child what might happen if you changed the amounts or left out an ingredient.  Any time you experiment

This sensory lesson includes a kindness activity for kids that is short and sweet,  and makes teaching kindness a beautiful thing! Learning to use kind words with our friends is one friendship lesson that I think we can never cover enough...kids always need reminding (sometimes adults do too)!  You will need these simple supplies for the kindness activity: cotton balls, course sandpaper, cup, Should I Share My Ice-Cream by Mo Willems Directly teaching good friendship skills, like using kind words, serves two purposes: 1- You can refer to the lesson when someone forgets or needs reminding, and 2- These skills are not intuitive for all preschoolers. This is a perfect age to bring empathy and kindness to their attention and help them cultivate these skills! You can use this lesson plan exactly as I did it with our kiddos, or adapt it to fit your group! 1- Read  Should I Share My Ice-Cream  by Mo Willems.   {Image below is an Amazon Affiliate Link:} D

Crazy Cool Giraffe Science Experiment

Do you know what color giraffe skin is? Today we're using a capillary action science experiment to make our own giraffe skins in this fun giraffe science experiment project! (Read on...I'll tell you the color in a moment! AND I have a few more fun giraffe facts at the end! Anyway, go on and make a guess before you see the answer!) Fun Spot  Giraffe  Fact:  There are four different giraffe species:  the Masai Giraffe, the Rothschild Giraffe, the Somali Giraffe, and the Nigerian Giraffe.  Each has its own unique spot pattern.  Even more unique, every single individual giraffe has a different spot design.  Just like fingerprints on people and stripes on a zebra, spots on a giraffe are unique in every individual! Giraffe skin is mostly grey. (Were you right?) It's also really tough and thick.  The coat is a shade of tan with brown spots or patches.  Male giraffes actually get darker as they get older! To make our "giraffe skin" we're going to us
