1 approach
Common animals belong to major groups. Fish have gills and fins, amphibians such as frogs begin life in water, reptiles have dry scales, birds have feathers, and mammals have hair or fur and feed milk to their young.
Spend 10 minutes naming animals and sorting them into fish, amphibian, reptile, bird, and mammal groups.
