Herbivores, omnivores and carnivores
Drag the pictures into the correct place in the Venn diagram. When you are ready, use the 'Mark' button to see if you're right.
Discussion points
- What might happen if too many animals were carnivores?
- What is the advantage of being an omnivore?
- What category do humans belong to?
Teaching tips:
Delve deeper into the world of animal diets by looking at ‘Advanced animal dietary vocabulary’ to learn more specific names depending on what food they eat.
Alternatively, use this activity with ‘Animal habitat adjectives’ and think about how an animal’s habitat might influence its diet or find out more about food webs using the ‘Food web vocabulary’ task. Children could make their own food web for each type of animal.
