Did you know that animals can move in all sorts of fun ways? Some animals fly high up in the sky, some swim deep down in the sea, and others run really fast on the ground. Let’s pretend to be these amazing animals and have some fun!
Spread your arms wide and flap them up and down. You are flying like a big, strong eagle! Now, let’s freeze and stay still like a statue.
Move your arms like you’re gliding through the water. You are swimming like a playful dolphin! Now, let’s freeze and stay still like a statue.
Run in place as fast as you can. You are running like a speedy cheetah! Now, let’s freeze and stay still like a statue.
Swing your arms and pretend you’re swinging from tree to tree. You are swinging like a cheeky monkey! Now, let’s freeze and stay still like a statue.
Move your arms slowly like you’re paddling through the water. You are paddling like a gentle turtle! Now, let’s freeze and stay still like a statue.
Wiggle your body from side to side. You are slithering like a sneaky snake! Now, let’s freeze and stay still like a statue.
Isn’t it fun to move like animals? Remember, some animals fly up in the sky, some swim down in the sea, and some run fast on the ground. You can be any animal you want and have lots of fun pretending!
Animal Movement Parade: Organize a mini parade where each child picks their favorite animal from the lesson and demonstrates its movement. Encourage them to add their own creative twist to the movements. After the parade, ask them to describe how their chosen animal moves and why they like it.
Animal Habitat Exploration: Create a simple matching game using pictures of animals and their habitats. Ask the children to match each animal to where it lives (e.g., eagle with the sky, dolphin with the ocean). Discuss why each animal is suited to its habitat and how their movements help them survive there.
Movement Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or playground. Ask them to observe and identify any animals they see or hear. Encourage them to think about how those animals move and try to mimic those movements. Discuss how these movements help the animals in their daily activities.
