Teachers choose one child to pick out an animal cracker, so no one can see which one is picked. The child turns away from the others and eats the cracker. The other children must guess what animal it is. The one who guesses correctly is the next cracker eater. As a follow up, give each older student an animal cookie.
Students write a creative story about their animals, then eat the cookies.
Younger children can dictate their story to the teacher or into a tape recorder. Animal Movements Encourage children's creative expression through movement with this preschool education activity by Elisa H . Ask the children to move around like different animals. Can be played like charades, worked into zoo units or have a parade. You can add sound, to calm children down in the end.
