Running an orientation or transition day for incoming Year 7 students? Looking for activities to make it fun and memorable, with minimal teacher prep?

Welcome to the jungle! Make the transition for your incoming Year 7 students less scary - with scary animals from around the world. The pack includes orientation activities to get students working together and excited about the subjects they will be studying in Year 7.

The pack includes printable animal cards that can be used across Maths, Science, English/ EALD and more - students will love battling it out to see which animal wins. You went bananas for our free pack last year, so we've refreshed it with 34 printable animal cards with ideas for individual, pair, or group activities, plus fun class games you can use across learning areas. Feel free to go wild and have some fun with a jungle-themed orientation that your students won't forget.

The pack is designed for schools running an orientation or transition day for their incoming Year 7 students. Many schools do this as a whole day - and we’ve designed the activities based on this. But feel free to adapt and change to suit how you do things. Go wild and have some fun with a jungle-themed orientation that your students won't forget! You'll get their transition into high school off to a great start with these fun and interactive activities.
