Extra activities
We played a game with letters. I made the sound of each letter and the children had to guess which letter fit the sound

Lions
Five little lions all in a row
one ran away, where did he go?
four little lions left to play
one went home, he could not stay
three little lions chasing one another
one went into the jungle to find her mother
two little lions loudly roaring
one fell asleep and now he's snoring
one little lion without a friend,
left to eat supper back at the den
no little lions left today
come back tomorrow and again we'll play

Animals at the Zoo
Sung to "The Wheels on the Bus"
The lions at the zoo go roar, roar, roar,
roar, roar, roar,
roar, roar, roar,
the lions at the zoo go roar, roar, roar,
all day long

the snakes at the zoo go hiss, hiss, hiss,
hiss, hiss, hiss,
hiss, hiss, hiss
the snakes at the zoo go hiss, hiss, hiss
all day long

the monkeys at the zoo go oooh, oooh, oooh,
oooh, oooh, oooh,
oooh, oooh, oooh,
the monkeys at the zoo go oooh, oooh, oooh,
all day long
