Animal Walks
Halloween is once again upon us all and it’s time to dust off drama skills. Break out the face paint and decorate yourself and your kids like animals and practice these ‘animal walks’. Don’t forget to try out some animal sounds and actions at the same time. It may be hard to stay in character – you’ll be smiling sooooo much fun.
Imitate different animals - Have animals move different body parts - Turn their heads -Wag their tails - Lift a foot -Move forwards, sideways and backwards - Make animal sounds.
SNAKE: roll or crawl on bell

BEAR: on hands and feet, with bottom up in the air
CRAB: on feet, with hands behind on floor
STORK: standing on one leg
DUCK: squat and walk forward staying in squat position
