Animal Classification

My students are really excited to create their animal classification game boxes. We will start creating them tomorrow or Friday. I did this activity last year and it worked out perfectly. I got the idea from the time capsule project we did last year. The students are going to make a mini box containing 3-D characteristics of their animal classification group. Then the groups will get to mix up their pieces and then sort them to play the game. I always find it interesting to see who takes the leader role in each group.
