Animal Homes: Habitats, animal homes and how animals are built for them

On field-guide pages, kids match animals with their homes and habitats. They sort animals by where they live, see how bodies are built for a place (fins, gills, fur) and tell animals that are awake by day from those awake at night.

How Animal Homes works

Questions are read aloud, so kids who are still learning to read can play on their own.
A wrong answer shows why, with the picture or the steps, and then they try again.
Nine right on the first try and the next round is a level harder. A tough round steps back one.
Each game they play builds a spot in their own valley, and stars go in their sticker book.

What it lines up with in school

Next Generation Science Standards. Standards vary by state, so check with your kid’s teacher.

K-ESS3-1: Show how plants and animals' needs relate to where they live.
1-LS1-1: Explain how plants and animals use their parts to survive.
2-LS4-1: Compare the variety of life in different habitats.

Practice it at home

Look for animal homes outside, like nests, holes and webs, and guess who lives there.
Ask how an animal's body helps it live where it does: a duck's webbed feet, a polar bear's fur.
