Invertebrates
 To know and be able to describe the different classes of
invertebrates
What Am I?

Each person gets a piece of paper and writes down an animal on it
(keeping this information secret)

Give your paper to someone on your desk, making sure they cannot see
what has been written

They then take this and lick the paper, sticking it to their head so
everyone else on the table can see, but they can’t!

Then take it in turns to ask YES/NO questions to guess your animal – e.g.
do I have four legs?

Last person to guess is the loser!
