"Ready to Use" Activities

Ocean Animal Articulation Game
This one is like all the other reinforcement artic games.  Collect all 5 animals to win!

Ocean Articulation Game

Ocean Artic Game-Spanish version

Ocean Animal Lotto
This set includes one lotto board and two different sets of cards.  To make everyone a winner (and cut down on the fussing), I give everyone the same board.  The rule is you have to listen.  "If you snooze, you lose" is my motto.  One set of cards works on describing and another set is basic vocabulary in both English and Spanish.

Ocean Scavenger Hunts
Print out as many lists as you need.  There are a total of 5.  Hide ocean animals around the room and have the kids find them.  I did something really fun one year.  I put two small tables together and covered them with blue paper.   All the animals were placed under the "water" (tables).   Each student got a "snorkel" (bendy straw) to go underwater to search for their list.  They loved it!!
