Gator or Croc? Field Card
The five tells laid out side by side, a snout diagram, and a field test to see if it stuck. Fold it in half and it fits a pocket.
Life-Size Tooth Chart
Four teeth printed at their real size, from a hatchling to a twelve-footer. Bring a ruler — there is a scale bar so you can check the page printed true.
Chomp Finds the Swamp
Chomp wandered up to the gift shop and now he wants to go home. One way through, and the answer key proves it.
Pinch's Mudhole Run
Pinch the crawfish needs to reach his burrow before the water drops. The grades 6–8 version is a proper slog.
Match the Swamp
Draw a line from each word to its match. The younger version matches animals to what they are known for; the older one is vocabulary.
Swamp Words
A crossword built from the exhibits. The grades 3–5 version comes with a word bank; the older one does not.
For teachers
Every sheet carries a code and a version number in the footer — AP-03 · v1.0 — so you can tell two printouts apart and check whether the copy in your filing cabinet is still current.
The answer key is always the last page, behind a red banner. Print pages 1 to the second-to-last for the class and keep the last one.
Free to copy for classroom and family use.
