What to do

Use four commands: It flies! It crawls! It swims! It walks!

 

Shout out a command and let your child or children act out the action. He needs to then shout out a type of animal that does the action. If it swims it could be a shark for example, and if possible also another characteristic of the animal. Encourage your child to mimic and act out the animal. Showing his teeth for shark as he swims.

 

Keep changing the commands and trying to always find a different animal every time a command is repeated. You can all have fun with this interactive game for children of all ages.
