ACTIVITY IDEAS:

Place all 12 Animal Walk™ HotSpots™ throughout the gym and group several students at each
station. Instruct students to imitate the animal walk at their station and then move onto the next
station after a predetermined amount of time. You may wish to increase the duration of time
students spend imitating each animal movement as they rotate from station to station. By doing
so, it will increase the amount of effort on the part of the student. Monitor and assist students as
they attempt to refine the animal movement and sounds.
