Zoo Vocabulary Role Play

Read the mini-scene, then try the zoo vocabulary activities. Imagine you are helping visitors discover the animals.

At the Wattle Creek Zoo

Omar is a zookeeper. “Good morning!” she says to the visitors. “The koala is resting in its habitat. The kangaroo is hopping near the rocks, and the emu is looking for seeds. Please stay behind the fence. At feeding time, I give each animal the right food. What would you like to know?”
