Kids Love Animals

Elephants are the largest living land animals today. In Asia, elephants are a sign of wisdom. They have extremely good memories and intelligence. The long trunk of the elephant works as a fifth appendage. It helps the elepant pick up things and drink water. Their trunks are so sensitive, that elephants can pick up a single blade of grass or shake a tree with their trunks.

Elephants are often studied in science lessons along with other large mammals. The lessons include science vocabulary that relate to elephants. Along with the vocabulary, teachers enjoy including games and puzzles in their lessons. Practicing with games about elephants is helpful to students by reinforcing the material. Another great benefit to these games is the increase in spelling, reading, and retention skills.
