Music:-Camille Saint-Saens – Carnival of the animals

Music called - Hens and Cocks:
Peacocks – Use your arms to be your tail, stretch them out behind you
and fan your tail. Stand with bottom out, legs bent and jolted head. Walk
and parade yourself around the room, shaking your tail feathers.

Music called – Tortoises
Snakes – Hands together outstretched in front of you, knees bent. Walk
with crossing legs in front of each other, move your tongue in and out of
your mouth quickly and hiss in-between.

Music called – Elephants
Elephants – Change your weight distribution and become bulky and
heavy footed. Thud your feet to the floor, swing one arm in front of your
face to be your trunk. Stop, legs apart, suck up some water from the
lake and spray it up in the air.

Music called – Kangaroos
Kangaroos – Bendy knees, bounce around the room keeping knees
loose and bent when you land.

Music called – Aquarium
Tropical Fish – Up on tip toes, arms stuck by your side, flapping hands
as fins, dart in and out of the water, fast little steps, being careful to
avoid contact.

Music called – The Aviary
Birds of Paradise – Beautiful, elegant birds, light on their feet, hopping
and jumping from branch to branch, flapping their wings and tweeting.
Sharp, darting head movements.

Music called – Fossils
Monkeys – Hands under arms, side galloping with bendy knees and
making monkey gestures, banging on chests.

Music called – Introduction
Lions – . Prowl around the room, large steps, in a slight crouched
position. Look for food, show your teeth, show your claws and pounce.
