There's nothing like a good movement activity for young learners. In this one, everyone pretends to be a certain kind of animal and moves in a way that the animal really does. First, a brainstorm session is held where the kids name the types of pets they have at home. From that list, the pupils choose to do their movements and have their peers guess which animal they're imitating. Fun! Based on the Arthur episode "Arthur's Pet Business."
