Savannah Animals Flashcards and Animal Facts Anchor Charts (Real Pictures for K-12 Science/ELA Vocabulary Lessons)

Savannah Animals Pictures/Flashcards, Animal Facts Anchor Charts for K-12 Science Lessons

I created these flashcards for all the grades from K-12. This resource features 35 real African savanna animals and birds with clear, realistic photos that work from kindergarten to highschool.

What I love about these is how versatile they are. Your kindergarteners can use them for basic animal recognition, while your 7th graders can incorporate them into ecosystem presentations or research projects. I've included both the colored as well the grayscale version. The animal facts anchor charts are also included in this resource. Now the students can learn interesting details while they're looking at the pictures, which keeps them engaged for a longer duration.

What you'll get:

• 35 printable savannah animal and bird flashcards

• Each card has realistic images with animal names clearly labeled

• Both colored and grayscale versions (perfect for budget-friendly printing)

• Animal facts anchor charts with interesting details

• Ready to use for sorting, classification, bulletin boards, labeling, storytelling, and more

Works great for different grades:

Preschool and Kindergarten: Animal introduction and basic vocabulary building

Grades 1–3: Science content reinforcement and animal recognition practice

Grades 4–5: Science fair displays, research projects, and classification work

Grades 6–8: Ecosystem reports, ELA animal assignments, and visual presentations

Why these work better than regular flashcards:

These aren't typical cartoon-style animal cards. The realistic photos give them an academic feel that works well with older students too.

They're also sized right for actual classroom use - big enough to see from a distance but not so huge they eat up all your paper and ink.

For teachers and homeschool parents:

• Print and use immediately

• No editing or prep work is required

• Great for visual learners and classroom displays

• Supports science, ELA, and project-based learning across grade levels

• Students can work independently with these for research and exploration

For students:

• Builds animal recognition and science vocabulary naturally

• Makes science presentations look more professional

• Helps with understanding animal adaptations and ecosystems

• Keeps kids curious about real-world wildlife

These have become one of my go-to resources because they work for so many different activities and age groups. Moreover, kids actually get to learn about animal facts along with their pictures.
