 Animal Taxonomy Crossword

 How to use these cards

Print off two copies of each set of cards and paste them cards on to poster board. Next, cut out the cards and you are ready to play.

One game you can play is fish: Deal 5 cards to each person in your group. Students take turns asking each other for cards. However, unlike the original game of Fish, students will have to ask two questions:

               Student A: Do you have a mollusk?

               Students B: Yes, I do.

               Student A: Is it an octopus?

               Student B: No, it isn't. Go fish.
