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!
