Animals Chart

The Animals Vocabulary Chart is a structured visual reference designed to support students in learning, recognising and confidently using animal vocabulary in the target language.

By presenting animals clearly and consistently in the target language, this chart provides repeated exposure that supports accurate recognition, pronunciation, and retrieval of vocabulary during everyday classroom instruction and discussion.

Designed for classroom teachers, specialist language teachers and homeschoolers, this chart functions as an instructional tool by keeping animal vocabulary visible so students can actively use the target language when describing animals, classifying them, and participating in oral language activities.
