CARD GAMES
Old Maid
The goal is to form and discard pairs of matching parent and baby animals, and not to be left with the odd card (Albert) at the end. Any player shuffles the pack and deals them around, one at a time to each player, until all the cards have been handed out. Players do not need to have an equal number of cards. Each player removes all parent/baby (uppercase/lowercase) pairs from their hand face down. The dealer then offers their hand, spread out face down, to the player on their left, who draws one card from it. This player discards any pair that may have been formed by the drawn card. They then offer their own hand to the player on their left. Play proceeds in this way until all cards have been paired except one – the Albert card, which cannot be paired (Easy Animal Card Games for Kids, b. d.)”
Memories
We have various cards with animals. Every card has a pair. The rules of the game: The game needs to have two to four. The players have to mix the cards and then spread them face down. The youngest player starts and turns two cards around if they are a match the player takes them and gets another try, if they are not they have to be put back in the started position. Then the game is continuously clockwise. When all the cards are taken is the end of the game. The winner is the one who has the most pairs.
MOVEMENT ACTIVITIES:
Cowhide
Children discover that the cow skin of several types of cows mixes another colour with white, such as brown or black. Using droppers or brushes, get kids to experiment with adding other colours to the white paper, making sheets of “cow skin” or “cowhide.” Those that are similar could possibly be grouped together in making large cutout cow murals for the wall.
CHICKEN FAMILY
This activity is played like that that we have three different role models. We have a chick, a chicken, and a rooster. The rules are: All of the peers are chicks at the beginning and they have to imitate the animal’s sound and movement and also play in pairs the game rock, paper, scissors. The person who wins the game turns into a chicken and imitates the sound and movement of the chicken and have to play rock, paper scissors just with peers who are the chicken if the person loses turns back to the chick and plays the game with chicks and if it wins turns into a rooster and plays the game forward only with other roosters. The game has no end.

A STORYBOOK
Eric Hill: Spot goes to the farm
Lila Prap: Animals' international dictionary
MOVEMENT ACTIVITY
Pantomime
Divide into four groups. Every group receives three cards of animals on one side. The cards have to be facing down so they are not revealing animals. Then one person from the group has to take a card, look at it and then mimic the animal presented in the picture. Meanwhile the rest of the group tries to guess the animal.
REPEATING ACTIVITY
We repeated all the words about animals that we found in the book with imagines of each word.
Animals’ sounds
Firstly, we read the book Animals international dictionary and then we try to guess the animal sounds.
We have repeated every animal we discover in the game “Hiding in the shadows”.
CARD GAME
Shadows
We first show the animal shadows one by one in the presentation and then the listeners have to guess which animal belongs to which shadow.
Kim’s game
In this game, we have to look at the given animals and try to remember them. Then one of the animals is taken and we have to guess which one is missing.
Odd one out
One animal is different from or kept apart from others that form a group.
Cowhide
Look at pictures of various types of cows and discuss the similarities and differences.
Children discover that the cow skin of several types of cows mixes another colour with white, such as brown or black.
