Shark Activity Printable Pack
Kids are fascinated by sharks! Those powerful jaws, lightning-fast swimming, and all those teeth – what’s not to love? Our Shark Activity Printable Pack brings these fantastic ocean creatures right into your home classroom!
Sharks have been swimming in our oceans for over 400 million years, longer than dinosaurs. They come in many different types and play a massive role in keeping oceans healthy.
This shark-themed homeschool freebie includes science, reading, writing, and math activities all in one easy download!
The ocean covers more than 70% of our planet, but many kids only see marine life in books or on TV. This printable pack lets them get hands-on with one of the ocean’s most misunderstood animals.
When you add these shark activities to your lessons, you grow your child’s curiosity more than teach facts! Kids naturally love learning about animals, especially cool ones like sharks with their rows of teeth and bodies built perfectly for ocean life.
What is the learning benefit of this printable?
These shark activities help kids learn in many ways while keeping them interested! The colorful worksheets grab the attention of kids who learn by seeing, while the cutting and pasting activities help hands-on learners click with what they’re studying.
Science concepts like animal groups, body parts, and ecosystems become easier to understand when taught through these incredible ocean creatures. Children get better at noticing details as they identify different shark parts and start to understand how sharks’ bodies work perfectly for their ocean home.
The activities also help little hands get stronger through cutting, pasting, writing, and drawing. These skills help kids with their handwriting and other schoolwork. And let’s be honest—cutting out shark parts is WAY more fun than regular worksheets!
Reading and writing improve, too! The word search and word scramble games build vocabulary while feeling like playtime. These activities are great for independent work or when you need a quiet moment to help another child with something else.

Shark Research Laboratory
Turn your kitchen or classroom into a shark lab for the day! Set up stations around the room with different shark activities from the printable pack. Hang blue streamers from the ceiling for “water” and play ocean sounds on your phone or speaker.
Give kids clipboards and pencils to be “shark scientists” as they move from station to station. Put out magnifying glasses to examine the anatomy diagrams up close. Add some blue water in clear containers for a sensory element. Kids love pretending to be marine biologists!
They’ll get so into character that they won’t realize how much they learn about shark anatomy and behavior.
Shark Week Countdown Calendar
Create an exciting learning event with a “Shark Week” in your homeschool. Use the activities to make a countdown calendar, with one new shark activity each day for a week.
Start with easy activities like the word search, then move to harder ones like the anatomy diagrams. At the end of the week, have a “Shark Show” where your child shares what they learned using their completed shark report.
This activity builds excitement and helps kids remember information by spreading it over several days.
Ocean Ecosystem Diorama
Use the shark facts from the printables to inspire a 3D shark habitat in a box! Based on the facts from the worksheets, talk about what sharks need in their environment.
Have your child make a shoebox diorama with a shark they researched. Add coral reefs, smaller fish, and ocean floor details. This hands-on project teaches about habitats and food chains while letting kids get creative. Tape the completed shark fact sheet to the outside of the box as an information sign.
