Kids on the Move – From Physical Activities and Healthy Snacks for Young Children; Team Nutrition Iowa

 Animal walks

  1. Arrange the children in a long line facing you.

  2. Ask the children “who can show me how a/an (insert animal name) walks”?  If a child volunteers allow them to demonstrate.  If what the child does is close to the description have the other children copy.  If the demonstration is not close, ask if anyone can think of another way to show how that animal might walk.  You can also demonstrate or cue by using the descriptions below.  Repeat with the animals running, with each child selecting their favorite, adding their own animals, and so forth.

  • Kangaroo (jumping while holding hands near chest with fingers forward)

  • Monkey (walking with hands on ground)

  • Bear (lumbering so that hand and foot on the same side go forward together)

  • Pony (galloping or trotting with all fours)

  • Giraffe (lift arms above head pretending this is the neck and head, then slide to move across the area)

  • Squirrel (running, darting and dodging, quick head movements during short steps)
