In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Students will identify and name 26 animals native to South America by their printed labels.

  • Students will associate the animal set with the South American continent via the accompanying map page.

Teaching tips

  • Provide crayons or colored pencils, since all 28 pages are blank line-art outlines meant for coloring.

  • Pair the map page with the animal pages to introduce South America as a region before naming its wildlife.

  • Work through a handful of animal pages at a time rather than the full set in one sitting, given its size (26 distinct animals).

Skills covered

  • South American animal identification — students associate a printed name label (e.g., Jaguar, Capybara, Toucan) with its illustrated coloring page.

  • Fine motor coloring practice — 26 animal outlines plus a South America map outline for coloring.

  • Regional geography connection — a labeled South America map page situates the animal set to its continent.
