Animal Antics
What better way to break the ice

than to have a little fun with
animal sounds and movements?
But it’s harder than it seems -
everyone will come up with their
own animal sound and movement,
and you have to be on your toes
to jump in when someone sends
the action your way!
Animal Antics
1. Choose your animal, and the sound and movement

to go with it. (We’ll track these in the chat box.)
2. One person will start by doing their animal sound
and movement, followed by someone else’s. When
someone does your sound and movement, it’s your
turn! Start by doing your sound and movement, then
do someone else’s to send the turn their way.
3. Speed it up and see how quickly you can pass the
sound and movement around!
Draw, Don’t Stop!
Get your creativity flowing with this quick, creative
activity. Place your pencil on your page and keep
drawing until the time is up. The results might inspire
even more art!
You Will Need:

● Paper
● Pencil
● Watch, Clock or Timer
● Colouring Materials (optional)
Draw, Don’t Stop!
● Spread out your paper and place your pencil tip
anywhere on the page.
● Set a time for 30 seconds, start the timer and GO!
● When the timer starts, begin drawing your design -
remember not to lift the point of the pencil off the
page (your drawing will be one continuous line!)
● Stop drawing when the time is up and have a look at
your design.
● Add some colour if you wish!
Face Stretch
Let’s loosen up the muscles in your face as we get ready
to become living art!
● Imagine you have a very small piece of chewing gum

in your mouth. Chew it very gently so no one can see
it. Oh, it’s magic gum and it starts to get bigger and
bigger and bigger. Keep chewing it, but now you will
have to open your mouth wide to chew it. It’s
enormous! Chew hard. Now it’s getting smaller and
smaller. Keep chewing until suddenly it’s gone!
Face Stretch
● Poke your tongue out as far as it can go. Try to touch
your nose. Reach for your chin, then stretch your
tongue from side to side. Open your mouth wide and
stretch your tongue from side to side but keep it
inside your mouth.
● Open your mouth as wide as you can, but at the

same time make your eyes as small as you can. Now
make your eyes open as wide as you can and your
mouth as small as you can.
Movement
There are many ways to use movement, try the following
suggestions and make up a story to go along with them!
● Dress: for an outdoor adventure

● Walk: through long grass, through mud
● Run: in circles
● Crawl: along the top of a very narrow high wall
● Jump: like a frog
● Twist: like washing machine
● Hammer: a rock with a sledge hammer
