Note: Before trying this theme it's recommended to try the "Do you like...?" animals theme first.
The I like animals and Do you have any pets? song from CD6 is also highly recommended.
Kids love animals! And that's why it's one of the most popular lessons
to do when teaching English. They also seem to really like the sounds animals
make, and that's the focus of this lesson.

| Animals by Richard Graham In my house, I have.. In my house, I have… I have a dog. Woof, woof! I have a caｔ. Meow! I have a bird. Tweet, tweet! I have a mouse. Squeak, Squeak, squeak, squeak! On my farm, I have… On my farm, I have… I have a chicken. Cluck, cluck! I have sheep. Baa, baa! I have a cow. Moo, moo! I have a pig. Oink, oink, oink, oink! In my zoo, I have… In my zoo, I have… I have an elephant. I have a monkey. I have a snake. Hiss, hiss. I have a tiger. Roar, roar, roar, roar! |
In the classroom or at home ........
Very simple, act out an impression of each animal as you say their name.
The gestures aren't set in stone, ask the kids to use their imaginations
and decide as a class which ones to do!

Genki English Card Game - Ostrich Game
Worksheet:
Play with 2 people. Each place a coin on the start island. One person rolls
the dice and moves along that number of islands. If you can say "Hello
Mr/Mrs/Ms "and the name of the animal on the new island you can stay!
If not, you go back to your previous island. The other person then has
a go. The first person to say "Hello Mr Monkey!" is the winner.
Simple, but fun!
On the CD....
On the CD there is the music (if you put it into a normal CD player), and
the software section (if you put it in a suitable PC or Mac). As with the
other songs there is a fun pronunciation section for learning the words,
a mini-lesson to learn the song "a cappella" and a groovy quiz.
The "Animals" song can be found on CD vol. IV !

As an extra game, give the students a minicard and they have to make that
animal sound to find others with the same card. If they are older students
you may want to try and blindfold them.
