Right Flipper

Wave your right flipper! Can you see the penguin waving? Great job!

Left Flipper

Now, wave your left flipper! Look at those penguin flippers go!

Penguin Sound

Penguin Fun

Wasn’t that fun? Penguins are so cool! You did a great job pretending to be a penguin. Remember, penguins love to play and have fun, just like you!

  • What was your favorite penguin move to pretend, and why did you like it the most?
  • Can you think of other animals that move in fun ways? How would you pretend to be one of those animals?
  • Have you ever seen a real penguin, maybe at a zoo or in a video? What did you notice about how they move or sound?
  1. Penguin Observation Walk: Take a walk outside and pretend to be a penguin exploring its icy home. Look around and notice things that penguins might see in their environment. Can you find something that is white like snow? Or something that is slippery like ice? Share what you find with a friend or family member.

  2. Penguin Craft Time: Create your own penguin using simple craft materials like paper plates, black and white construction paper, and glue. Cut out flippers and a beak, and glue them onto the paper plate to make your penguin. Once finished, give your penguin a name and think about what fun adventures it might have.

  3. Penguin Storytelling: Imagine you are a penguin living in Antarctica. What would your day be like? What would you eat, and who would you play with? Draw a picture of your penguin adventure and tell your story to the class or your family.
