Give each group a large piece of paper. Instruct pupils to draw the animals on the large pieces of paper. They can also colour them and decorate their pictures, e.g. drawing a pond / some grass.
Have pupils put their pictures on the noticeboard to form a class picture of animals in a safari park. Pupils can decorate the safari park together.
