This rockpool scavenger hunt gets children looking closely at the marine life found around UK shores. The sheet includes 10 commonly found species, with pictures and names to help them identify what they see.
It’s designed to be easy to use—just print and take it with you on a beach trip. Children tick off each species as they find it, using observation skills and working in pairs or small groups.
You don’t need any special equipment, and it fits well with topics on habitats, classification, or local wildlife.
