Get the classroom thinking creatively, and help Quokka find a friend, with this free teaching activity. Working together or solo, kids can brainstorm the animals that a quokka would encounter on the beach and draw a friend for them.
Keep the conversation going with these further discussion points:
- Take turns acting out different emotions, including those identified in the text.
- Work in pairs to re-enact the story.
- An important theme in this story is friendship. Use various art materials to create a collage that represents friendship.
