Bring your ocean unit to life with this 31-page printable shark activity bundle for kindergarten through second grade (ages 5–8). Children learn what makes a shark a fish, identify its body parts and practice early reading, maths and observation skills through shark-themed worksheets and games.

Start with the full-color “Did You Know? Amazing Shark Facts” page as a class read-aloud. Ask children to point to the gills, compare the sharks in the pictures and share one new fact. Then use the “Parts of a Shark” pages to review vocabulary such as dorsal fin, pectoral fin, gills and tail.

The bundle includes:

• Shark science and literacy Illustrated shark facts, shark anatomy pages, uppercase and lowercase S tracing, a shark word search, a SHARK acrostic and an “If I were a shark…” writing prompt.
• Early maths Shark counting, picture addition and subtraction, and color-by-number.
• Games and visual challenges 10 picture bingo boards, shark species memory match cards, a maze, I Spy, shadow matching and two spot-the-difference pages.
• Fine-motor practice Shark coloring and a dot-to-dot activity.

Use picture bingo for a whole-class game, memory match at a small-group station and the counting pages for independent practice. Younger learners can join in with picture-based activities, while more confident readers and writers can try the word search, acrostic and writing prompt.

The bundle also makes a fun, educational Christmas take-home activity for shark-loving children.
