Activity
1. Play animal charades. A student chooses an animal and acts it out while classmates
guess which animal is being portrayed.
2. Next, try this game: after one student chooses an animal, classmates ask “yes” or
“no” questions about the animal’s behaviour until they correctly guess the animal.

FOR THE TEACHER: Have students think of sounds that have a meaning associated with them.
On the board, make a list of the sounds they name.
Examples: The doorbell means someone is at the door. The phone ringing means someone wants to
talk to you. A fire alarm tells people to go outside. A bell tells students to line up after recess or for
the assembly or a break. Tell the students that, in the same way, animals make different sounds and
that they can recognize the animal from the sound it makes.
