Noah's Ark

Noah's Ark is ready to sail, but most animals run away last night. You have to find them as soon as possible. The team that finds them first will get a free ride in the Ark.


This is a really good post-activity to be used after a song or a story related to animals. It consists on writing animal names that the children may know (be careful to adapt it to their level so it is fun rather than frustrating) in small cards, divide them between two or more teams and allow them to describe the animals to their own team so they can guess which animal it is and go to the next. If somebody doesn't know the animal they have to describe they can skip their turn after placing that card in the last position.

This is an activity that can be adapted in many different ways:
-Normally you are not allowed to describe an animal by its sound or using not verbal language, however, this might be very recommendable when doing it with small children.
-If you do so, you might like to use pictures instead of cards with the names written on them (or both things).
-You might decide not to form teams in case you want to have a better control over the class as a whole.

-If the activity is based on description by verbal language a few posters that provide with the most essential vocabulary such as this one.
