EDITABLE (non-editable also available) ‘Animals of the World’ themed Self Registration Display.
Includes:
Banner ‘Who is here today?’ - change this in the editable docx file version to say whatever works best for your setting
Days of the week signs (Monday-Sunday)
‘Here’ & ‘At home’ signs (2 different sizes to suit your display board/area)
Name signs for all of your individual children to enable them to sign themselves in by moving their name from the ‘At home’ column to the ‘Here’ column. Faded images behind children’s names gives them an added way to recognise their particular name card allowing for greater independence. 49 animals included!
This resource pack is easily adapted for any setting. For example the youngest children will get used to recognising their name & picture combination and moving it to the correct place with help. Children soon love the responsibility of doing this independently. Excellent tool for encouraging children to recognise their name before attending school and ideal for use in school to consolidate that knowledge and encourage independence.
Why not use this Self Registration Display in conjunction with our ‘Animals of the World’ peg labels pack? Both include the same 49 animals so that each child may have their own animal to recognise! They will be able to register themselves with the same animal as is on their peg or box!
(Non-Editable version has blank name cards for filling in manually after printing.)

Note: This resource is part of a themed set (15 Animals included). There are various sizes of mats/labels for different purposes within your setting. You may like to assign an Animal to each child within your group/bubble. They then know that whenever they see that Animal it is something of theirs e.g. place to sit, stand, peg to hang their possessions, box for their things, etc.
This resource is intended as a pack of versatile floor mats. Here are 2 possible uses… (Please obviously carry out your own risk assessments and consider health and safety implications for the children within your setting when deciding how to use our resources):
LINING UP - They could be adhered to the floor and placed 2 meters apart from each other starting at the door. Children know that they have a particular one that they start on (or are told to go to a particular one) and as the person in front moves forward to the next floor mat, they may then also move forwards to the next one.
SEATING MATS - Children could be assigned a particular Animal that they know to sit on. This could be a floor mat or a seating place at a table.
Other Animal themed resources you may like to use in conjunction with this include:
‘ANIMAL’ NAMED FLOOR MATS - Lining up or Seating

This resource is intended as a pack of versatile floor mats with space for a child’s name included. Type children’s names into the editable docx file before printing or alternatively print the pdf file and write names in after printing. Here are 2 possible uses… (Please obviously carry out your own risk assessments and consider health and safety implications for the children within your setting when deciding how to use our resources):
LINING UP - They could be adhered to the floor and placed 2 meters apart from each other starting at the door. Children know that they start on their particular one and as the person in front moves forward to the next floor mat, they may then also move forwards to the next one.
SEATING MATS - Children could be assigned a particular Animal with their name on that they know to sit on. This could be a floor mat or a seating place at a table.

30 Days Wild (The Wildlife Trusts) & The Big Wild Weekend
30 Days Wild is an annual challenge run by The Wildlife Trusts throughout June. It encourages everyone, of all ages, to connect with nature every single day for the entire month. It's not about grand gestures, but about finding simple, fun, and wild moments in your everyday life – whether that's listening to birdsong, planting a seed, noticing a bee, or watching clouds.
Towards the end of June, 30 Days Wild culminates in The Big Wild Weekend, typically held over the last weekend of June. This special weekend is a peak celebration, inspiring people to spend even more time immersed in nature, often through local events organised by Wildlife Trusts, or by creating their own wild adventures. It's a chance to consolidate the month's nature connection and truly embrace the wild.
The main educational thrust of 30 Days Wild and The Big Wild Weekend for EYFS and KS1 children is to foster a deep, joyful connection with the natural world, right on their doorstep. It aims to cultivate curiosity, observation skills, and a sense of wonder about local wildlife and green spaces. It reinforces the understanding that nature is everywhere – even in a small garden or park – and that spending time outdoors is good for our physical and mental well-being. It subtly builds a foundation for environmental stewardship by nurturing a love and appreciation for the natural world from a young age.
Activities for EYFS and KS1 Practitioners and Parents during 30 Days Wild & The Big Wild Weekend:
Here are some engaging and age-appropriate ideas to celebrate "30 Days Wild" and "The Big Wild Weekend" with young children:
Go on a Nature Scavenger Hunt: Provide a list of simple natural items to find (e.g., a smooth stone, a crinkly leaf, something spiky, something that smells nice). This encourages close observation and sensory exploration.
Listen to Birdsong: Spend a few quiet minutes outside (or near an open window) just listening. Can you hear different birds? How many different sounds can you identify?
Make a Mini Bug Hotel: Collect hollow stems, small sticks, and leaves. Bundle them together in a small tin can or plastic bottle to create a tiny home for insects. Discuss why bugs need homes.
Cloud Gazing and Imagination: Lie on the grass and watch the clouds. What shapes can you see? What do they remind you of? This encourages imaginative thinking and observation of the sky.
Plant a Seed: Plant a simple seed (e.g., a sunflower seed, a bean, or a cress seed) and observe its growth daily. Discuss what plants need to grow.
Nature Art: Use natural materials like leaves, twigs, petals, and pebbles to create transient art pictures on the ground, or make nature collages on paper.
Mud Kitchen Play: Set up a mud kitchen outdoors with old pots, pans, spoons, and natural ingredients (mud, water, leaves, twigs). Encourage children to make "nature recipes," promoting sensory play and imaginative role-play.
Create a "Wild" Journal: Provide children with a simple notebook where they can draw, "write" (emergent writing), or dictate something they observed or enjoyed in nature each day.
Visit a Local Green Space: Spend time in a local park, woodland, or nature reserve. Encourage free exploration, running, climbing, and discovery.
Read Nature-Themed Stories: Share picture books about animals, plants, or adventures in nature. Discuss the natural elements in the stories.
The Big Wild Weekend Special Activity: For The Big Wild Weekend, consider a slightly longer or more immersive activity:
Picnic in Nature: Pack a simple picnic to enjoy outdoors in a park or garden.
Night Sky Gazing (if safe and appropriate): Look at the stars before bedtime.
Build a Den: Use blankets, sheets, or natural materials to build a simple den outdoors.

World Wildlife Day
World Wildlife Day is celebrated globally every year on March 3rd. This United Nations (UN) international day aims to celebrate the world's wild animals and plants and to raise awareness of the urgent need to combat wildlife crime and human-induced reduction of species, which have wide-ranging economic, environmental, and social impacts. Each year, a specific theme highlights a particular aspect of wildlife conservation.
The main educational thrust of World Wildlife Day for EYFS and KS1 children is to foster a sense of wonder, respect, and responsibility towards all living creatures and their habitats, both locally and globally. It encourages children to understand that all animals and plants are important parts of our world, and that many are facing challenges. It promotes the idea that even small actions can help protect wildlife and encourages empathy for animals and their environments.
Activities for EYFS and KS1 Practitioners and Parents:
Here are some engaging and age-appropriate activities to celebrate World Wildlife Day and teach children about the importance of protecting wild animals and plants:
Animal Role Play and Movement: Encourage children to move and act like different wild animals (e.g., slithering like a snake, hopping like a kangaroo, soaring like an eagle). Discuss where these animals live and what they eat.
"What Do Animals Need?" Discussion: Talk about the basic needs of wild animals: food, water, shelter (a safe place to live), and space. Compare it to what humans need.
Build a "Habitat": Using natural materials found outdoors (leaves, twigs, stones, soil) or craft materials (cardboard boxes, paper, fabric), encourage children to build miniature habitats for toy animals. Discuss which animals might live there.
Wildlife Scavenger Hunt (Outdoor or Indoor):
Outdoor: Look for signs of local wildlife (e.g., birds, insects, squirrels) in your garden or local park. Look for leaves, feathers, footprints (if safe to identify).
Indoor: Hide pictures of different wild animals around the room and have children find them. Discuss where each animal typically lives.
"Our Local Wildlife Heroes" Exploration: Focus on animals and plants that live in your local area. Read books about local birds, insects, or mammals. Discuss how you can help them (e.g., not dropping litter, planting bee-friendly flowers, providing bird feeders).
Wildlife-Themed Story Time: Read books about wild animals, nature conservation, or endangered species (age-appropriately). Stories that highlight empathy for animals and the importance of looking after our planet are excellent.
Animal Sound Guessing Game: Play recordings of different wild animal sounds and have children guess what animal makes the sound.
Recycling for Wildlife: Discuss how recycling helps wildlife by reducing waste that can harm animals and their habitats. Children can participate in sorting recycling.
Nature Art: Use natural materials collected outdoors (leaves, petals, twigs) to create collages or pictures of wild animals or their habitats.
Draw Your Favourite Wild Animal: Encourage children to draw or paint their favourite wild animal. Ask them to share why it's their favourite and where it lives.
