I found a really adoreable book called "Rumble in the Jungle"

www.amazon.com . . .

I'm going to read it to my 3-5 year old Creative Movement class and stop at each animal and have them act it out. "What does an elephant look like? Let's see if we can move like an elephant."

I hope it works- I thought it might be a good way to engage them and get them moving!

Thanks for the great idea! I am going to try it also. Since I teach so many preschool classes, it is always good to get some fresh ideas.

That sounds great. At christmas time I read the Nutcracker to my little ones and have them dance as each character with the musicnd they love it. It may be interesting if you got some jungle music to go along with it:)

That is such a cute idea. Maybe I can use that for my mommmy and me class.
