Find the animals and their Noongar words with Ebony Froome

Using the illustrations of bush animals, get the classroom colouring in and writing the Noongar word for each animal in the blank space. Each of the animals can be found in the dual-language Noongar and English picture book, Djinang Bonar: Seeing Seasons by Ebony Froome and Leanne Zilm.

Use some of these other activities to practice Noongar language, including:

• Discussing the six Noongar seasons mentioned in Djinang Bonar: Seeing Seasons and how to spot the difference.
• A grass tree in Noongar is called balga. What are the other types of plants and their Noongar translation used by the author?
• Use blank flashcards to create a matching game featuring the Noongar and English names of the animals shown in the book.
