Zoo Adapted Book | I Saw Animals at the Zoo

Zoo Adapted Book: I Saw Animals at the Zoo is a fun, hands-on zoo-themed song activity for preschool, Pre-K, kindergarten, special education, autism classrooms, and speech therapy. This interactive adapted book helps students build zoo animal vocabulary through music, repetition, and active participation. It is sung to the familiar tune “Camptown Ladies,” making it easy for students to join in and stay engaged.

As the teacher or therapist sings the song and turns the pages, students match picture pieces and follow along with the text. After the song is complete, students extend learning with a sorting activity that focuses on classifying animals by type. This resource is a great fit for circle time, small groups, literacy centers, and therapy sessions, especially for students who benefit from visual supports, repetition, and hands-on learning.

Sample Verse:

"I saw a monkey at the zoo, monkey, monkey.

I saw a monkey at the zoo, I saw a zebra too!"
