This activity works well with your unit on animals!
1. Before everyone arrives, hide a happy pile of buttons around the area.
2. Then, divide into 2 or 3 groups and choose a leader for each group.
3. Either assign or let each group choose an animal sound to make. Allow a few seconds to practice the sound (whales, anyone?).
4. Set the teams loose to find the buttons. When a team finds a button, it says, “neigh neigh” (or whatever its animal sound is). The other team says, “quack quack” when it finds a button.
5. Remember the team leaders? They’re the only ones allowed to pick up the button!
6. Set a time limit, and after 5 minutes or so, find out which team has the most buttons!
Want to play again? Of course you do! Choose new leaders and new animal sounds, and off you go!
(A dog says, “bow-wow”, yes? What does a turtle say???)
