Sing a Song
Have kids make up and perform their own songs about the jungle, the plants and animals that live there, and how they interact. Encourage creativity! Bring out craft supplies so kids can make props, such as drawings, figures, or puppets of some of the jungle plants and animals they have learned about. If weather permits, head outside and have kids perform their songs for one another. Then, have them make up and perform another song about where you live.
