Each set of trading cards in this bundle includes:

***Please Note: Some sets of cards may have slightly different features than those listed so please look at the individual previews to see exactly what’s included in each set.

Filled out cards: The front of each card features clipart of the animal along with its “Fast Stats” which are the top weight, length, lifespan and number of offspring of the animal. I included symbols for each of these so even prereaders will understand what the numbers mean. The backside of each card includes the animal’s: diet, habitat, predators, adaptations and a world map showing the animal’s location.

Black and white cards: These use much less ink and are fun for children to color themselves with crayons or colored pencils.

Blank trading card templates: Children can use these to create their own animal trading cards by drawing a picture of the animal on the front and writing information about it on the back.

Foldable box and Interactive Notebook (INB) sleeve templates: Optional templates for a box or sleeve to print out, cut and fold for children to store their cards in.

Instructions for 6 games that you can play with most cards:

Rumble in the Jungle: A collaborative discussion game

Rumble in the Jungle 2: A Socratic Seminar game

Complete Sentence Showdown: Students ask and answer questions about their animals using complete sentences.

Animal Battle: A game comparing the animals’ statistics

Math Battle War: Students use the animals’ “fast stats” to practice all 4 mathematical operations.

Add to Your Deck: A fun writing activity where students create more animal trading cards of their own which they can use to play all the games.

Here are a few other ideas on how to use educational trading cards:

Educational prize box items or positive behavior incentives.

Use them as part of a animal research project

Science station, early finisher or rainy-day recess activities.

Print these out for birthday or Christmas gifts.
