Zoo Field Trip Adventure Pack
$5
Turn a regular zoo day into a real learning mission. This 18-page printable pack has scavenger hunts, a word search, bingo, coloring pages and a Junior Zookeeper certificate. It works at any zoo, with no prep and no special exhibits needed. 🦒
Taking the kids to the zoo is the easy part. Getting them to look closely, ask questions and remember what they saw is where this pack comes in.
I'm Kelly, a homeschool mom of two boys. We turn field trips into lessons all the time, so I made the zoo pack I wanted for us: fun enough that the kids ask for it, and solid enough that it counts as school.
