Step 1

Students sit down in a group around or in front of you.

Step 2

Hold flashcards in your card, but hidden from the students. Call out a name of the animal.

Step 3

Children should mime the animal with noises or actions.

Step 4

If you working on a points system, you can give the student with the best action/noise a point.

Step 5

Show the students the animal they were miming.

Step 6

If you call a name and they do nothing. Say the name again, if this doesn't work, slowly show the picture of the animal until 1 student gets it.

Top Tips:

  1. It's a high action activity to get your students out of their seat and PLAY whilst learning.
  2. Have lots of fun
