Twenty-seven sea creatures make up this list: abalone, barracuda, clownfish, cuttlefish, manatee, plankton and sponge. Free to print as a PDF, or play it online.

Two entries are not what most people assume. A sponge is an animal with no brain, no nerves and no organs, filtering water through its whole body, and it was only settled as an animal rather than a plant in 1765. Plankton is not a creature at all but a description of how something lives - the Greek means wandering, and it covers anything that drifts rather than swims, from single cells up to jellyfish.

The octopus is the strange one by any measure. It has three hearts, two pushing blood through the gills and one through the rest of the body, and the blood runs blue because it carries oxygen on copper instead of iron. The central heart stops beating when the animal swims, which is part of why an octopus would rather walk.

The free PDF prints well for a classroom. Online, the grid comes up different each round.
