This week we're going on Safari.  Binoculars up!  Out in the jungle, what do you see?  I SEE A......

We're listening to the Safari Song by Preschool of Rock.


We use our hands to pretend we are looking through binoculars.  We're moving all over the Large Group rug.  When the animal is called out, we get to pretend to be that animal.  The children were excited to move around the room like a Snake, Lion, Monkey, and Mosquito.

Do this at home:  Make a pair of binoculars out of toilet paper tubes and go on a Safari around your house and yard.  What animals do you see?  Can you drum like the jungle drums?

Next week, we'll do this without music and make our own drum music and also call out our own animals. I have a feeling zebra will be one of them. Have you ever heard what a zebra sounds like?
