Animals around me

Kindergarten 5 questions

What animals around me means

You learn to name common animals and match them with the sounds they make. This helps you talk about the world around you and answer simple questions in class.

What you will practise

Name common animals you see at home and near school
Choose the sound made by each animal
Match animals with simple pictures in questions
Notice animals that live in water or can fly

Before you start

You should know a few common animals already. It also helps if you can listen carefully to short animal names and sounds.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Which animal says moo?

Goat
Cow
Dog
Cat

Answer: Cow

Working: A cow says moo.

Common mistakes to avoid

Choosing the wrong animal because the sound is mixed up. Say the sound slowly before you answer.
Forgetting that some animals have special places to live. Look at the question for clues like water or air.
Naming a pet instead of the animal shown in the picture. Match the picture carefully before answering.
Guessing too fast without listening to the full question. Take your time and think about the animal sound.
