๐ Try this at home
- Move across the room as different animals โ slither like a snake, hop like a frog, then stomp like an elephant. Can someone guess which animal you are?
- Act out a trip to the vet: one of you is the worried pet owner, one is the poorly puppy and one is the kind vet.
- Make a freeze-frame of a busy jungle โ everyone strikes an animal pose and holds perfectly still, like a photograph come to life.
- Tell a bedtime story out loud, using a different silly voice for every animal character.
