Animal Sounds & Movement

As we continue with our Living Things unit, we are focusing on animals this week. We began yesterday by going over the names of baby animals, the sounds they make, and how/where they move.

After we discussed what many different baby animals are called, and after doing an animal sound guessing game, it was time to put our new knowledge to the test...
with a game of course!!

The students were all handed a card with either an adult or baby animal on it. Then they were spread out around the room.


When I said GO, they began making the noise of the animal pictured on their card, and walked around to find their partner who was making the same sound.


It sounded like quite the zoo for a minute there!





Horse & Foal neighhhh


Duck & Duckling quack quack


Cat & Kitten meow


Cow & Calf mooooo


Dog & Puppy ruff ruff


Goat & Kid baaaaa


Pig & Piglet oink oink


Hen & Chick cluck cluck


Then we began our lesson on how animals move by doing the movements ourselves.


Waddle like penguins



Elephants tromping


In our lesson we learned that animals either fly in the sky, walk on land, or swim in the water. We also learned that there are some that can do 2 types of movements!

Then it was time to put our new knowledge to work by sorting some animals into land, water, or sky.















And...this is adorable!
