Shark Worksheets for Kids

I’ve never met a kid who wasn’t fascinated by sharks. Of course, they don’t want to run into one in person on their next trip to the beach.

They do, however, love seeing them at the aquarium or in books and shows.

You can help them learn more about sharks with these shark activities for kids.

Shark Activities

Do you use themes in your homeschool? I love using themes, and sharks is a popular one with elementary aged kids. This packet of shark-themed worksheets will help your students become more familiar with sharks.

All of these activities are no-prep printables that you can just print and use right away. Or, you can place the worksheets in a dry erase pocket to make them reusable.

Preparing the Shark Activities

All you need to do to prepare these worksheets for your students is print them out. You can laminate the shark anatomy pages if you’d like.

Laminating the puzzles will make them reusable. Kids can use dry erase markers to complete the activities and then wipe them clean to be used again on another day or with another student.

BOOKS ABOUT Sharks

There are many shark books for kids that teach them about these creatures of the sea. Sharks are often portrayed as ruthless killers, but these books help children learn about the important role sharks play in the ocean’s ecosystem.

Shark books can also teach children about the different types of sharks and their habits.
