When we mention Australia, people often imagine kangaroos jumping across the streets in Australian
cities and villages. Australia is full of unusual animals and some of them do not live anywhere else in
the world. Pupils may know some Australian animals from their biology or geography lessons but
certainly not all of them. What we need is a map of Australia, a picture of the Australian flag, a couple
of pictures of the most famous Australian animals, flashcards with the names of the animals, an
envelope, small, blank cards (one for each pupil). The time needed is one 45-minute-long lesson. The
aim of the lesson is to show Australia as an absolutely unique country concerning her animals and, of
course, teach the pupils the names of these special animals.
