Animal Hall of Fame

Create an Animal Hall of Fame in your classroom. Ask each team to identify the one animal in each category that best illustrates the criteria and either draw a portrait or find a photo of the animal. Ask them to list three reasons why the animal is the best and create a label for the animal. For instance, the best runner might be the cheetah because it runs faster than any land animal; it has non-retractable claws for traction and a long tail to balance its body at high speeds. Frame the pictures and post them on a bulletin board to make your class’s Animal Hall of Fame.
