Take your class on an exciting adventure through the jungle! Once they've packed their suitcases and travelled by aeroplane; they're off to meet the animals.
Teach the children how to slither like a snake; walk tall like a giraffe and throw bananas in the air like a monkey. They could even have a go at being a hula-hooping hippo! The children will love these jungle-inspired activities; and you will see their motor skills improve as they join in with the jungle dances and games; and create animals using a range of materials.
