Totally coincidentally, my son has been reading a lot
about sharks. I seized the opportunity to explore different species of these
toothy swimmers, with a little MORE reading (I love an excuse to go to the
library) and a fun game.
Before we played our game, we read a perfect book to teach us about some of the 350 different kinds of sharks. Gail Gibbons' book taught us about some of the biggest and smallest sharks, what they eat (including whether they're likely to eat us), and the anatomy of a shark.

One at a time we drew the call cards and placed a fish
over the shark on the card (and the FREE space, of course!). My son got five in
a row before I did and was declared the winner. Our prize? He got to eat some
of the gummies!
Two of my son's favorite chapter book series have
featured some of these amazing fish. The Ready Freddy book taught us about the
prehistoric Megalodon. The Magic School Bus book taught us loads of shark
facts. My son (and I) recommend both books for able readers interested in
learning more.
This is so cool. My oldest will love this game! Thanks for sharing at the After School Link up.
