Activities
-
Animal Sounds Game:
Take turns making animal sounds. The teacher will make a sound, and the student will guess which animal it is. Then, switch roles!
-
Animal Movements:
Act out different animals. For example, crawl like a bear, hop like a frog, or waddle like a penguin. This helps the student learn about how animals move.
-
Story Time:
Tell a simple story about animals in the jungle or farm. Use expressive voices and gestures to make it exciting. Ask the student questions about the story afterwards.
-
Animal Home Exploration:
Discuss where different animals live. For example, "Where does a fish live?" (in water) and "Where does a lion live?" (in the jungle).
Talking Points
- "Can you make the sound of a cow? Mooo!"
- "How does a frog move? Can you hop like a frog?"
- "What do you think a lion says? Can you roar like a lion?"
- "Where do you think a bird lives? In a tree or in the water?"
