Animal Movers

Animal Movers 

Video

Call out different animals and ask the children to move like the animal.  To make it more fun (and for those who require visual clues), place a selection of small-world creatures in a bag)..shake a tambourine and pull out an animal.  When children hear the tambourine, they know to stop and look to see which animal is next.

Adapt for younger children:

Keep the activities on the floor, spend more time on each animal and allow for children to explore their adaption of the movement independently. Use the visual clues.

Extension:

Suggest more challenging animals and vary the intensity of dynamic movement; bear walks, duck walks, scorpion, spider etc
