Literacy Snack Zoo Read Aloud

August 30, 2017

Grab the FREE printable and see the snack idea to use with the book, Zoo Day. It's a fun Literacy Snack Zoo Read Aloud  for any time of the school year!

this article (and most) on primary playground, does contain affiliate links that we do earn a commission off of.  clicking these links does not cost you any extra but helps our website to keep great articles and freebies like this coming your way.

This weeks Literacy Snack Zoo Read Aloud is a new book that I found and fell in love with. We’re reading Zoo Day by Anne Rockwell.

A young boy and his family visit the zoo for the very first time. From gorillas to lions, polar bears to parrots the family celebrate a day he will never forget. With simple, lyrical text and bright illustrations that jump off the page, Zoo Day brings the joys of visiting the zoo vividly to life.

This would be a perfect snack to save and use this year if you have a field trip to the zoo planned. We do not so we’re running with it now, but how fun would it be to tie it in with the field trip?!

In the book, the family sees many different animals so I have chosen to make monkeys for our snack this week.

While the kids are assembling their snacks, I created a printable that they can work on. They will draw a picture of their favorite animal that they’ve seen at the zoo, saw in the book, or would like to see at the zoo. So many fun options for them to draw.
