If you can't listen to this audio clip, try some of these activities instead! (Select arrow)

Let's use our imagination!

  • What are some different animals? Use actions and sounds to show 3 different animals. Move like your animal.

  • Pick up an object such as a spoon, book or tissue. What else could it be? For example, you could pretend a spoon is a microphone, a pencil or a toothbrush!

  • Let's think of some different jobs. Pretend you are an astronaut, a doctor, a chef or an artist. What else could you be? Act it out.

  • Use your body to represent different objects. How could you become a car, a tree, a water bottle or a chair?

  • Use clothes, props or dress ups to become a character (such as a fairy, wizard or pirate). Speak and move like your character.

  • Sing your favourite song (or say a few sentences) in different ways. You could sing it really fast or slow... or you could sing it like a robot or an opera singer! Try singing without moving your mouth too much. Can you sing or speak like you are talking underwater?

  • Let's pretend we're going on an adventure. Start by jumping on a plane, boat, submarine, rocketship or hot air balloon! What happens on your adventure?

  • Say a phrase like 'That's interesting' with different emotions. Try sounding happy, surprised, confused or suspicious.

  • Act out a short scene, such as a day at the beach or going to the shops. Act out the scene without speaking. Act out the scene backwards.

  • Think of an object, such as a shoe, a plant or a toaster. If it could speak, what might it say?

  • Act out your favourite story – with or without speaking.

  • Think of a character from a story. It could be an animal or a person. Listen to some music and move to the music like that character!
