We recently did a jungle theme. We made a display board of different jungle animals, we got the children to make the animals head out of paper plates decorated. They painted large sheets of paper green which were then cut out as big leaves. The heads peaked between the leaves of the jungle so there was no need to get the children to do the bodies.
this was used as the back drop to my activity.
How about providing pictures of different animals and a variety of musical instruments, asking the children which sounds they think could represent sounds for different animal movements.
A rattle could represent slithery snake movements. A whistle or recorder representing a bird flying, a drum represents an elephant marching, a shaker represents a giraffe stretching to eat a leaf of a tree, castanetts could represent a gorilla beating his chest. coconut halves banged together the gallop of a zebra etc.....
Hope this goes well
