Successful quiet walkers who reach the finish line must continue to be quiet until the last quiet walker finishes. Make sure that the animals and all quiet walkers understand the rules before the game begins. Stress to all that slow walkers are quiet walkers. Repeat the game several times. Students will become more enthusiastic and skillful.
Students can practice on local small wildlife such as pigeons, squirrels and rabbits.
But they should be warned never to approach large animals and never to try to touch any wild animals. This animal stalking game is common in many environmental education manuals and activity books. This manual has a similar activity called Oh Deer . Project Wild is sponsored by most Provincial Fish and Wildlife Agencies in Canada. Contact your local agency for information on their teacher workshops.
