To begin	Put the children into groups and let them choose an animal each by picking a flashcard from a pile.
Activity	Show the children where they will parade to and from. Now call out the animals one by one and let the groups parade, miming as they do so. Encourage the other children to applaud as they watch their friends.

Music:

• If you have some musical instruments at the school you could let the children play with them, creating sounds which they think represent the animals and the way they move.

• Encourage them to think about whether they want fast or slow music. Maybe they would like some funny percussion sounds for the ducks and hens?

• You could also encourage the children to create sound for when they sleep and when they wake up.

Animal badges:

• You don't have to wear costumes or masks but if you would like to include a visual element to the activity you could make simple animal badges.

• Cut out a large card circle and paste a picture of an animal onto it.

• Attach the badge to the child's clothing using a clothes peg or paper clip.
