Activities
Let's get wild like a cheetah and do some fun activities!
Make a Pledge! (NEW)
Let's make a difference together! Make a pledge to learn about cheetahs, to share what you learn and tell everyone how important it is to protect and save cheetahs now and for our future!
We have created TWO Cheetah Kids' pledge card designs for you to choose from. Select one and print it (color or black and white), cut it out, read it out loud to make your pledge official and sign and date it.
Thank you for taking the pledge with us!
Website Scavenger Hunt Fun
It's "All About Cheetahs" questions with answers waiting to be discovered!
A fun way to really learn about cheetahs! We've compiled 24 questions that can be answered by going on a website scavenger hunt! Take your time and look through all of the cheetah information, look at the pictures, Cheetah Tidbits,etc.. The answers are there! Maybe get your family members to help or challenge them to fill out their own activity sheet. We have divided the questions into two parts 12 qwithuestions each.
Cheetah Costume
Grab your yellow sweat pants and hoodie it's time to make a cheetah costume!
A great activity to sharpen those motor skills by cutting out SPOTS! Get the help of an adult or older sibling and start cutting out circles, ovals and oblong shapes from black felt. Then grab some glue (best if it's not washable glue ☺) and start sticking the SPOTS on. Really cannot make a mistake - glue them all over the sweat pants and hoodie. There's over 300 spots on the one Kristen's wearing.
Make a tail out of yellow felt and/or fabric that can be hand sewn into a tube. Glue SPOTS on the tail and a few black stripes to the end section. Add a white cotton ball to the end for the tail tip fluff. Add ears with a headband and/or glue triangle shapes to the hoodie. Add black triangles to ears.
Paint your face like a cheetah's face with tears and a nose. Now it's time to practice your cheetah purrs and chirps. Don't forget to snap a few pics to show your friends and family.
Summer Reading Log
We love books and summer is a great time to jump into reading. Print a Cheetah Kids' summer reading log and mark off the cheetah-related icons for every 20 minutes read. You'll learn some fun facts about cheetahs on the way to finishing 24 hours of reading. Enjoy your books!
Color in the Spots Poster
Let's put the spots back on the cheetah poster. A simple, fun activity for learning, coloring or raising money for cheetahs. Lots of ways to put the spots back on the cheetah: color a spot for every cheetah fact you know, every 15 minutes of reading or use as a fundraising tool for supporters who donate money. Donation = 1 spot to color. Have fun with it!
Let's play Tail Tag
Cheetahs have very useful tails and each tail is different with its spots, stripes and white tips. This fun group activity will get players acting and moving like a cheetah with its tail. This is a great activity for kid parties.
