| Title | More Animal Activities |
| Body | Here are some more suggested activities for lessons about animals. These should be appropriate for a wide range of languages and abilities. ---- With apologies for not remembering who posted this first on FLTEACH, I'd like to remind you all of a great animal "project. Create your own animal, i.e. half lion, half rhino. Name it: a lino? a rhion? Draw it, put up the picture and have the class guess its name. Then have the person who drew it do a brief show-and-tell. It's a great way to teach or review body parts as well. The pictures turn out SOOOO cute, and even my high school kids think this is fun. Blaz, D. Re: Teaching animals...

Ex: Un león famoso en una película de Disney....(Simba) - Garfield - Bambi - Snoopy - etc. Charades? Have kids bring in pictures and talk about their pets. (Mi ______ se llama _________. Mi _________ es (color). Mi_________ es grande/pequeño/mediano..... Mi _________ es especial porque ______________. etc...) Cut out animal pictures from a magazine. Post the pictures up on a bulletin board or the chalk board. Have the kids choose an animal (maybe you could number each picture), and write and read a description. The class has to choose the "right" animal picture. This could also be done with a word bank. Get a tape/cd with animal sounds and have the kids identify the animal. Read a book like: Polar Bear Polar Bear What do you Hear? Brown Bear, Brown Bear What do You See? (Both by Eric Carle) You can also tie in where the animals live/climate/what they eat, etc....
