  Activity
(Original Idea: CLICK to see the original raw document)

Tell youth that this activity will help them increase their knowledge about animals in the world. Have them read the clue. Each description has the number of blanks that correspond to the number of letters in the animal's name. There are 12 descriptions.

Have the youth find the names of the animals described on the animal quiz first without assistance of looking them up. After making an attempt at naming the animals, provide additional resources for finding answers. They may use textbooks, the Internet or other resources.

Once they have completed as many as they can, have them count their scores. If they get six descriptions correct, they are as clever as a fox. If they get eight, they are as wise as an owl. If they get 10, they are, like lions, king of the group.
