Animal Antics

Combine children’s love of animals with the need for physical activity. Begin with “Field Day Is Paw- Some!” Stickers to generate enthusiasm. Lead students in imitating wild animals. They could run on all fours like a cheetah, roar like a lion, climb around on a playset–aka monkey bars–like a primate, and pounce like a tiger. Expand the event by including insects and have children flap their “wings” like a butterfly, buzz like a bee, and wiggle like a worm. Let them know they did an excellent job with “Field Day Is Paw-Some!” Ribbons.
