Go FISH or Have You Got? Game Part II of III
This is part II of III. The first part said "Part 1 of 2" but the pictures on this set were larger so I had to split it into three parts. Please be sure to download all three parts. 72 cards, 18 animals, 4 cards each animal. Go Fish game, with instructions included. Lots of fun. Great way to finish off a group lesson with elementary school kids.

This is a great reading comprehension activitiy for intermediate students with comp questions at the end. Vocabulary is in bold. In a class on rainforests, this can be used to show a success story.
