To get the girls thinking more about the features of different animals, I created a spot-the-difference worksheet for them to work through. The first row of 3 features all mammals, the second birds, then fish, reptiles, amphibians and lastly a mixture of classifications.
They needed a little prompting at first to look carefully at things such as colour, shape, if they had fur or feathers, how many legs, where they lived, etc. - what do two have the same while the other one is different? But they soon got the hang of it.
I liked how they both came up with different animals or different reasons if they chose the same animal. My first choices were different from theirs too! So there's a lot of flexibility in this activity. 😊
