(More...)You Will Need: Show pictures of farm animals to the children. Invite them to identify the animals on the pictures, the sounds they make, and how they move. Encourage the children to take turns imitating farm animals movements and sounds. For example, they may gallop slowly like a horse, waddle quickly like a duck, or moo like a cow.
Observe: Do the children show balance and flexibility while moving like farm animals? Challenge the children to hold movements and try different stretches.
