Audio script:
In this activity you are going to draw a Zippo. Zippos live in caves and never come into the light. Nobody has ever seen a Zippo so we don’t know exactly what they look like. You are going to hear some information about Zippos. Use this information to draw what you think a Zippo would look like.
You can start drawing as the information is given to you. The information will be given twice. You can check your drawing when the information is given the second time.
Facts about Zippos:

  • Zippos are round in shape. This helps them to roll from place to place.
  • They have 2 large round eyes that help them to see in the dark caves. Each eye is made up of four circles.
  • Zippos use their large wings to fly about in the cave, where they feed on spiders and insects.
  • Zippos are friendly. They have big happy smiles.
  • Zippos have 3 short hairy legs, and claws on their feet.

Now listen to the information again.
