Animals that hibernate 3-Part Cards (17 animals)

There are many types of animals that hibernate in order to survive the cold winter months. This collection showcases some of the animals that use this technique. Animals that live in warmer climates don’t need to hibernate, but their more northern or higher altitude cousins are thankful for this strategy! This set works perfectly with any lesson on hibernation, and we love to bring it out on Groundhog Day too! Possibilities are endless! 

Montessori style 3-part cards of 17 different animals that hibernate:

• brown bear
• badger
• hedgehog
• groundhog
• black bear
• marmot
• chipmunk
• skunk
• turtle
• snake
• alligator
• frog
• snail
• ground squirrel
• bat
• bee
• ladybug

Each “card set” (animal) consists of 3 cards, thus “3-part cards” :

1. control card (picture with label) – approx size: 3.67″ x 4.25″
2. picture card – approx size: 3.67″ x 3″
3. label card – approx size: 3.67″ x 1.25″

Activities for using 3 part cards (print out our FREE printable “Activities for getting the most out of your 3-part cards”) include but not limited to:

• Naming and Identifying
• Matching (picture to picture, picture to label, and more!)
• Memory Game (control card to picture card, picture card to label card, etc)
• Identifying beginning only sounds 
• What’s Missing?
• Mystery Bag (additional resources required)
• Create some animal art of your own! We believe our animal images are inspiring, and you may just want to try your hand at drawing or painting some too!
• Be creative! Make up your own games or use the cards individually for conversation starters, unit or topic initiators,  “hot and cold” games, learning a second language, parts of speech (adding different adjectives), story creation, the sky’s the limit!

How to prepare your card sets: We recommend printing on heavy cardstock and separating with a paper cutter or scissors into the 3 part sets. Round corners with a corner rounder punch (see our favorites page for our recommendation). For added durability, you can laminate your cards, if desired. If you are very low key, you can simply print on paper and cut, just keep in mind this style is not ideal for “memory” activities, but will overall work fine for most others.
