Look at all the fun ways we can move! We can walk like an elephant, jump like a kangaroo, swim like an octopus, and run like a cheetah. Moving like animals is so much fun!
Animal Movement Parade: Organize a mini parade where each child picks their favorite animal from the lesson and demonstrates its movement. Encourage them to think about how the animal might move in different situations, like when it’s happy or scared. After the parade, ask them to share why they chose that animal and what they learned about its movement.
Animal Movement Art: Provide paper and crayons or markers for the children to draw their favorite animal from the lesson. Ask them to illustrate the animal in motion, such as an elephant walking or a kangaroo jumping. Once they finish, have them explain their drawing to the class, focusing on how the animal moves and why they chose those movements.
Animal Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or playground. Ask them to observe any animals they see, like birds or squirrels, and notice how they move. When you return to the classroom, discuss what they observed and compare it to the animals from the lesson. Encourage them to think about why different animals move in different ways.
