Discover the wild wonders of Africa with our African Savanna Unit Study Kit!

Centered around the book Serengeti: Plains of Grass by Leslie Bulion, this unit transports your family to the African savanna—home to some of the world’s most fascinating animals. From lions to giraffes, zebras to elephants, your kids will discover how animals survive and thrive in this unique grassland habitat.

Your kids will explore animal adaptations, ecosystems, and African geography through activities like:

  • Create an African savanna small world
  • Map the continent of Africa
  • Paint an African sunset scene
  • Build a muddy waterhole sensory activity
  • Research and write about lions
  • Create African-inspired line art
  • Explore “Just So” stories and folklore
  • Study elephants and their adaptations
  • Learn about giraffes and survival traits
  • Practice giraffe-themed math activities
  • Discover the Serengeti migration
  • Explore the African savanna food chain

And more!

Whether they’re building habitats, creating artwork, or exploring the incredible adaptations of savanna animals, your learners will develop a deeper understanding of this unique ecosystem—and have fun doing it.

This unit study includes 25+ activities, organized into eight easy-to-follow, open-and-go lessons. Schoolhouse Discoveries hands-on unit studies are designed for homeschool families and can serve as a core Science and Social Studies curriculum for grades K–4 or a supplement for 5–6th grade. Each unit also weaves in Language Arts, Math, Art, STEM, Sensory Play, Cooking, Health, and Movement.

By using multiple themed kits throughout the year, families can build a complete, well-rounded curriculum rooted in hands-on, family-style learning.

Learning Tips

We’ve divided the learning experiences into eight sections, and we recommend doing the activities in the order suggested as some build upon the next. However, you don’t need to complete all the lesson activities at once if that’s too much for your schedule. Just pause and pick up where you left off next time. Doing these activities two days a week will take four weeks to complete the unit. The activities in this kit were designed for K to 4th graders. But we know kids are at all different levels and interests, so feel free to skip or add-to an activity if it isn’t right for your child(ren). That’s what Schoolhouse Discoveries are all about - having fun learning and finding ways that best fit your needs.
