Following my previous post dedicated to the “Deep in the Ocean, Deep in the Sea” song, I would like to continue sharing some printable teaching materials complimenting the song. In this post I offer you, my fellow English teachers, a few worksheets on the marine life. As usual I suggest using my worksheets while learning the vocabulary related to sea and marine animals using the lyrics of my song which you can find in the video below.
Handwriting Worksheets
This time I prepared some assignments for fine motor skills training. There are four sea animals handwriting worksheets where children must trace and write the words which occur in the song. The first worksheet contains such words as ocean, deep, blue, cool, water, diver, swim.

The other worksheets help develop handwriting skills and memorize the spelling of such marine animals as fish, jellyfish, starfish, sea, seahorse, seaweed, seal; whale, walrus, octopus, turtle, squid, shark, shrimp; dolphin, crab, coral, lobster, oyster, eel, ray. The words are distributed between the worksheets in such a way so that kids could see and compare cognates or words with the same letters or phonemes.
In addition I’ve made a blank ocean animals handwriting worksheet in case if you want to suggest other words or simply letters for your pupils to train writing skills.

Vocabulary Worksheets
I've also created some free printable worksheets for kindergarten and primary school English learners.
Worksheet 1 and 2: Children are supposed to match the sea animals with their corresponding names in English. Please, note that in the first worksheet I offer the simplest words while there is more difficult vocabulary in the second one.

Worksheet 4: This task gives pupils the opportunity to become teachers for a moment. Children must carefully search for mistakes in all the misspelled words, correct them and then match with the corresponding pictures. The assignment is rather difficult, that's why you should suggest it to pupils at the final stage of vocabulary acquisition.

Worksheet 5: This activity suggests working with simple sentences. Kids are asked to read sentences and accordingly chose the right picture from the three options. This task seems to be easy and can be offered even to kindergarten children.

Worksheet 6: This worksheet covers Present Simple Tense and is based on the "Deep in the Ocean, Deep in the Sea" song lyrics. The idea is to match sea animals names with the actions they can do in the sea according to the song. In the first part of the assignment the sentences must be written in the plural form, and in the second part they must be put into the singular form with all the necessary changes.

Worksheet 7: In this assignment pupils must read the sentences based on the lyrics of the song and decide whether these sentences are true or false. If a sentence is true it must be rewritten on the corresponding line, and if a sentence is false kids must write its correct variant. This task aims at improving children's speaking and writing skills as well as the ability to find necessary information in the text.

Worksheet 8: This task suggests creating pupils' own composition about the sea life. They must remember as many facts as they can based on the song lyrics and their prior knowledge on the topic. I recommend writing all the sentences in the Present Simple Tense to strengthen skills acquired while learning this tense.
