  • After reading, get kids up and moving with our ¡BAILA BAILA! animales marinos video.
  • Finally, complete the Demuestra lo que sabes skill sheet.
  • Children can build an ocean scene while practicing sight words with our game Un mar  de palabras.
  • Children will practice the sh digraph while looking for hidden objects in our fun Tiburón empieza con T skill sheet.

  • Children can play this game with a partner or by themselves. It’s great practice for reading a key, counting, fine motor skills, and learning about shark body parts.
  • If playing with a partner, kids can take turns rolling the number cube and drawing the appropriate part on their shark. Encourage them to look at the completed picture for reference. If playing alone, the player can simply keep rolling the number cube. The game ends when players have completed their sharks!
  • When children’s sharks are complete, have them write the shark’s name and color their picture!
