Shark Week is upon us, and I don’t know about you, but I’m scrambling to come up with ways to make it fun, meaningful, and educational for my kids. My husband is (hopefully) hanging our outdoor movie screen up this weekend, and I’m thinking we are going to stream Discovery Channel on the big screen and have some shark fun for days! Kids can learn so much from watching the various documentaries about sharks but adding a few fun games, activities, crafts or shark-themed food will make the week (and the new-found knowledge) ever so much more memorable! Why not kick your shark week celebration or your shark unit study up a notch this year by adding one or two, or maybe ten of your favorites from this list.

Take your pick from over 100 Activities, Games, Crafts, Printables, and Snacks for Shark Week and Shark Unit Studies! I’ve organized these activities by type and added an approximate age level to make it super quick for you to find what you are looking for!
