Instructions

Talk about animals
Everyone should sit in a circle.
The person leading the activity should show everyone a picture from the Animal facts sheet. Everyone should try to name the animal.
Everyone should talk about how the animal moves, what sound it makes, and where they live. If anyone’s seen one of these animals, they could tell everyone else about it.
Everyone should repeat with all of the animals on the sheet, so everyone knows what they’re called and a little bit about them.
Create and perform an animal roleplay
Split into small groups. The person leading the activity should give each group an Animal facts sheet, and tell each group which animal they are.

It helps to have a confident reader with each group (it doesn’t matter how old they are).
Each group should use the Animal facts sheet to help them create a short roleplay about their animal. Their drama could focus on food, habitat, space, exercise, or sleeping area, for example by showing the animal eating, drinking, and moving around. It shouldn’t be more than one minute long.
Everyone should gather back together. the groups should take it in turns to perform their roleplay to everyone else. Make sure everyone can see!
