Endangered Species Worksheets

Hurry! These animals need help before it's too late. Help your students learn about conservation and how they can help save our planet's endangered species. Quick and short reading comprehension activities, critical thinking puzzles, mazes, and more are ready and waiting for you to use today. Language arts activities will help students in grades 1-8 learn how to care for some of our most helpless creatures. Engaging photo books and writing projects will help them think through the challenges these animals face daily. What better way than to encourage your students to be responsible citizens by learning about those animals most in need?
Our endangered species unit contains stories, puzzles, and picture books about animal species that are vulnerable or threatened as well as those already classified as endangered. Students will find many of their favorite animals in this section: pandas, rhinos, and tigers are just a few.
