I was walking alone @ Forum one day and saw this book "Walking through the Jungle". I decided to buy it though it cost like $22.90. Its a really colourful picture book that comes with a sing a long CD.
"I'm sure my kids are going to lurve this!" with that thought as a motivation,I bought it in exchange for something that I really liked. Yes! No more budget!
The children really lurved the book and through this they learnt so much more about animals and their habitat. Taught a little on adaptations too. Its a great book. :)
Decided to make my money worth and hence added in a follow up activity which you are going to see in the video. The children did their own props. (For a week, they spent 10 mins each day on this). Basically each of my 5 groups chose a habitat and they drew all the animals that they could find in there.
Then, comes the simulated learning. They are to IMAGINE walking through the Jungle and through every habitat. Each group will sing their own part and then the children are to talk about the animals which they could find there. Basically, recall what they have learnt and also on their spelling.
Next comes drama. The kids are to imagine to be an animal in that particular habitat and move or even sound like one. The classmates would then guess. A few of them got bored after a while, some were really innovative and what really pleases me was when I saw the quiet ones like Rizqullah, who actually participated actively.
They ended up writing a journal reflection on this. I have enjoyed it as much as they did.
