Marine Biology Activities for Kids: Mazes, Word Searches, Crossword Puzzles, and More!

PRIYA SHUKLA is a marine biologist from Oakland, California. She is working toward her PhD at the University of California, Davis, and hopes to better understand how climate change and other human impacts will affect marine life. When she isn’t growing oysters in the lab or observing them in the field, she likes to hike, read, and spend time with her husband and cat.

"Priya Shukla's Marine Biology Activities for Kids is a game-changer. Her fact-based, enticing stories engage us with ecologically important critters in our sea, from seastars and octopus to lionfish, manatees, and whales, and remind us that invertebrates are the 98% on our planet. Her clever games, like Brain Coral and Manatee Mazes, Seastar Connect the Dots and Tuna Crab Taste Tests, are the way forward for kids of all ages. I read the entire book straight through to see what her next clever game would be. A must-have for K-12 teachers written by an ocean expert." —Drew Harvell, Author of Ocean Outbreak and A Sea of Glass, Cornell University Professor
"My 8-year-old son was really excited when the book arrived. He opened it up right away and was immediately engaged. He loves learning about marine animals and puzzle activities too, so it's perfect for him." — Customer Review
"I’m a marine biologist and approve! My kids (aged 7 and 9) love this book and all the activities in it! It is often our go-to when they say, "I’m bored." Great for summer activities, travel entertainment, and learning about our ocean." — Customer Review
