Animals and Their Habitats for Kids: Who Lives Where?
Explore seven habitats and hear what each one is like, where on Earth it is and who lives there. Then play: tap an animal's home, or pick which of four animals lives in a habitat. When an animal really has two homes, like the penguin, both answers count. It fits the Year 2 science topic Living things and their habitats.

What kids learn
Seven habitats — rainforest, desert, polar lands, ocean, savanna, mountains and forest — what each is like, where on Earth to find it, and which animals live there, with a fun fact about every animal.
Tips for parents and teachers
- Before the quiz, ask what each habitat would feel like: hot, cold, wet or dry?
- Sort toy animals into habitats on the floor, then play a round.
- Find the rainforest, the Sahara and Antarctica on a globe after exploring them.
Questions from grown-ups
What if an animal lives in more than one place?
Then either answer counts: a penguin is right in the polar lands or the ocean. Flagoo says where it mostly lives.
Are the animals real facts?
Yes. Only animals that school books clearly link to a habitat are used, with one checked fact each.
What age is this for?
About 4 to 9. Younger children can play by looking at the animal pictures, with every question read aloud.
Can it be played without sound?
Yes: every question is written on the screen.
Does it work for a whole class?
Yes: put it on the projector and let the class vote on each answer before tapping.
Is it free? Does my child need an account?
Yes, it's free, with no sign-up, login, or download, and it never asks for personal details. It runs in the browser on phones, tablets, and computers.
