  • What is your favorite animal from the ones we learned about, and why do you like it? Can you show us how you would move like that animal?
  • Have you ever seen any of these animals in real life, maybe at a zoo or in a book? What did you notice about how they move or sound?
  • If you could be any animal for a day, which one would you choose and what would you do? How would you communicate with other animals?
  1. Animal Movement Parade: Gather your friends or family and have an animal movement parade! Choose your favorite animal from the lesson and show everyone how it moves. Can you roar like a lion or swim like a dolphin? Take turns being different animals and see if others can guess which animal you are pretending to be. This helps you remember how each animal moves and their special signs.

  2. Animal Habitat Adventure: Go on a mini-adventure in your backyard or a nearby park. Look for places where different animals might live. Can you find a spot that would be perfect for a snake to slither or a tree where an eagle might perch? Talk about what makes each place special for the animals. This will help you understand where animals live and how they use their bodies to move in their habitats.

  3. Animal Sound and Sign Game: Play a game where you make the sound of an animal and then show its sign with your hands. For example, you can hiss like a snake and then show the snake sign. Ask your friends or family to guess which animal you are. This game will help you remember the sounds and signs of different animals while having fun!
