The Blobfish Comprehension

The Blob-fish – Voted the worlds ugliest animal, is a creature that is fascinating and that children really enjoy learning about.
In this activity there is a link to use to a kid friendly YouTube video that forms a fantastic introduction to the Blob-fish, along with a simple listening and speaking activity to get the class discussion going.
The comprehension follows with an interesting informative passage on the Blob-fish and some of the other “ugly animal” contenders.
There are eight questions based on the passage with the ninth question being a dictionary/ vocabulary activity.
My kids enjoy this year in and year out.
As a fun consolidation I use the Snap-chat app on my phone and take pictures of the children with the Blob-fish filter. This is always a hit, and makes for a memorable lesson in years to come.
