Who can show me how an animal walks? How do these animals run?  Try to imagine you are in a jungle, out in the desert, or hiding in the forest!

Kangaroo (jump while holding hands near chest)

Monkey (walk with hands on ground

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

Pony (gallop or trot with all fours)

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

Squirrel (run, dart and dodge, quick head movements during short stops)
