Animal Camouflage Game

  • Discuss the definition of camouflage. (Have the students look up the definition in a dictionary.)
  • Tell children that they will be hanging up a butterfly in the room after they color it.
  • Explain that the goal of the game is to have their butterfly be visible but camouflaged so that the other kids have a hard time finding it.

  • Have students look around the room for possible spots to hang their butterfly.
  • Give children a simple butterfly shape to color or let them draw and color their own butterfly.



  • Next children should cut out their butterfly shape. (Use pre-cut butterflies for younger students.)
  • Give each student a small piece of tape to use with their butterfly.
  • Have children close their eyes while one child hangs up his/her butterfly somewhere in the room.The butterfly can not be hidden behind anything!
  • Have children take turns looking for the butterfly (that is camouflaged). Have fun!

  • Extension: Discuss other animals that also use camouflage and how it helps them.
