Animal sounds and movement
Biology · Early Years · The School
So many ways to move
A bird FLIES. A fish SWIMS. A snake SLITHERS, with no legs at all. A kangaroo HOPS on two strong back legs. A worm WRIGGLES. Try moving like each one. Flap your arms. Wiggle on the floor. Hop on the spot. Your body can copy a little of what each animal does.
Sounds match the animal
Close your eyes and listen. A lion ROARS. A cow says MOO. A snake HISSES. A bee BUZZES. A duck QUACKS. Every animal has its own sound. Some sounds warn danger away. Some sounds call a baby animal home. Some sounds are just how that animal talks to its friends.
Movement matches the place
A fish has fins built for pushing through water — legs would be useless there. A bird has hollow, light bones and wings built for the air. A snake has no legs at all, so it slides smoothly through grass and under logs where legs would only get stuck.
It makes a buzzing sound and flies from flower to flower. What is it? A BEE. It hisses and slithers along the ground with no legs. What is it? A SNAKE. It says moo and walks slowly on four legs in a field. What is it? A COW. Notice how the sound AND the movement both helped you guess — you did not need to see a picture at all.
