Animal Observation Walk: Take a walk outside with a grown-up and look for animals or signs of animals. Can you see any birds flying like eagles or squirrels jumping like monkeys? Try to move like the animals you see. How does it feel to move like them? Share your favorite animal movement with your friends or family.
Create Your Own Animal Dance: Think of your favorite animal that wasn’t in the video. How does it move? Make up a dance move that shows how your animal moves. Teach your dance to a friend or family member and have them guess which animal you are pretending to be. Can they guess correctly?
Animal Movement Storytime: With a grown-up, read a story about animals. As you read, pause and act out the movements of the animals in the story. Can you move like a hopping rabbit or a swimming fish? How do these movements make you feel? Talk about which animal movement was the most fun to do.
