Duck, Duck, BEAR!!!

Played like "Duck, Duck, Goose", except the children will go around the circle, and say "Bear" instead

of "Goose."

Substitute Bear for other Zoo animals

Zoo Keeper Says:

Played just like "Simon Say" except the teacher says "Zoo Keeper Says." With younger children, do

not make children sit out... just say "Zoo Keeper didn't say."

Bear Stomp Musical Chairs

If they children made bear headbands, have them wear them during this activity. Arrange the chairs

in a circle. If you have younger children, it is best to have too many chairs. This can be a game where

everyone wins. Have the children stomp around the chairs until the music stops. Then everyone

finds a chair.

Musical Zoo

Cut out animal shapes from colored paper. Laminate them and cut them out. Place them on the

floor. It is best for younger children to have more animals than children. Play music and have the

children walk around the room. When the music stops, each child needs to find an animal to stand

on.

Pass the bear

Played like hot potato... have the children sit in a circle and pass stuffed bear around the circle when

music is playing, when the music stops the child holding the bear sits in the middle or the "bear pot"

until the music stops again and the next child replaces the first. You may also chant "Pass the Bear,

Pass the Bear, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10" and the child who has the bear on 10 is in the "bear pot."

Zoo Animal Day

Invite each child to bring in a stuffed animal.

Stuffed Animal Zoo

Place a variety of stuffed animals inside flipped over laundry baskets to create a zoo.

Pretend to go on a Safari

You are the tour guide on this safari. Have all the children join you in circle time or on a rug. Tell

them that we are all going on a safari (or to the zoo.) Tell the children what animals you see. "Look,

over there, it's a huge elephant." Ask the children what animals they see.

Little Lambs Class - Margaret Williams Version 1 - 7/2/15 22

Cookie Cutter Painting

Put a small amount of tempera paint in a large shallow container. (A pie tin works well.)

Show your child how to dip the cookie cutter in the paint and press onto a piece of paper

to create a print. You can make Zoo pictures by using animal cookie cutters and colored

paper.

Bear Ears

Measure your child's head, and cut a piece of brown construction paper long enough to

create a headband. Glue the paper together so the headband fits snugly on your child's

head but is loose enough to take off easily. Cut from brown paper two ears. Let your

child help you glue the ear to the headband. It's okay if it's a little off, it's art! Have fun,

and encourage your child to act like a bear.

Tiger Stripes

Supply each child with orange and black paper. Have the child tear the black paper into

thin stripes, then glue onto the orange paper.

Leopard Prints

Supply each child with a piece of brown paper and black non-toxic stamp pads. Show the

child how to make fingerprints on the paper, using only one finger at a time.

How to Make a Train Using Paper

By Steven Symes, eHow Contributor

Making trains out of paper is one simple way for children to learn about trains. As you make the

trains with the children, talk about how trains have changed over time, what trains carry, how trains

work, or any number of other train-related subjects. A child will have fun making a train that is

uniquely his, complete with favorite colors and fun cargo in each car. Let the child use his

imagination to decorate the train however he wants.

Things You'll Need

Paper

Pencil

Scissors

Crayons or markers

Glue stick

Hole punch

Brass fasteners

Magazines with pictures of toys or animals

Cotton balls

Instruction

o 1 Draw, or have the children draw, train cars--including an engine and a caboose--and wheels on

pieces of paper. Draw two wheels per train car. Cut them out with scissors.

o 2 Have the children color each train car and wheel with either crayons or markers. They also can

color a face on the front of the train’s engine.

3 Have the children fasten the wheels onto each train car. Use the hole punch to place a hole in the

front and back of each train car, except for the engine which will only have a hole in the back, and

the caboose which will only have a hole in the front. Put brass fasteners through the holes in the

train cars to attach them to each other.

4 Cut out magazine pictures of toys or animals. Have the children glue the pictures onto their

different train cars. Have them glue several cotton balls onto the engine’s smokestack to make a

smoke cloud.
