Pre/Post Site Teacher Materials Program: Illinois Mammals In-school Program Activity: Mystery Mammal Game Source: Forest Preserve District of Will County Invite students to choose a mammal they would like to learn more about. They should not share their choice with anyone but you. Make sure that each student is researching a different animal. Give each student an index card. Have each student research his or her assigned mammal using print and online resources. As the children research their mammals, instruct them to write 8-10 clues about their animals on the index cards. For example, "It has a heavy fur coat to keep warm" or "It hibernates in the winter." When students have completed their research, invite each student to present a clue and allow the rest of the class to guess the animal. The presenter can give clues until the audience has guessed the mammal. Once the mammal is revealed, the presenter should share the rest of the clues and any other information learned about the mammal.
