Guess the Animal in the Forest….in the Barnyard….in your House….at the Zoo
The activity begins by showing photos of many different types of animals—wild and domestic—in order to differentiate those terms. Students then create a list of animals by drawing or writing. Next, they take turns acting out an animal, silently at first, adding sound effects if needed. When a student guesses the animal, they also say whether it’s wild or domestic. Would we find the animal in a barnyard, in a forest, in someone’s house, at the zoo? Adapted from Project Wild.
