Once all the aquatic animals are made, they are hidden in the classroom and the small aquatic animals are kept in the bag. Each boy or girl must take an aquatic animal out of the bag and go out to look for the similar animal that is hidden. They must be told that if they find another animal that is not theirs, they must leave it in the place where they find it and not tell their companions so that each one becomes responsible for their search. The image of the bottom of the sea should be made on a sheet of cardboard so that the children can put the aquatic animals they find there, paste them with tape and they should read the habit that corresponded to them and that they find on the back of the medium fish, explain what they understand of each habit and how you fulfill it daily.
