Take the safari bus. Take a jungle tour in a preschool classroom. It will be a lot of fun for the children and I hope they will enjoy it.
Here are some ideas on how to start a jungle-themed lesson plan and some ideas on how to keep it going as long as the preschooler is interested in the activity.
Here’s how to introduce the theme.
First day. Ask the children if they know what the word “jungle” means. Explain what a jungle is for strangers and have a photo of the jungle so that you can associate your description with the photo.
the 2nd day. Place books * about jungles and animals that live in jungles in the library. They can be a combination of cartoon-type children’s books and real children’s books. (Your local library should help you find the book.)
Third day. Find jungle animal pictures * from magazines, books, the internet, calendars, or where you can find them, laminate them, and post them on the walls around the classroom.
4th day. Place jungle-themed toys on the toy shelves and some jungle-themed puzzles in the puzzle area.
Day 5. Find a CD with jungle-themed music, talk about the jungle, and then play it throughout your playtime.
* With the pictures and books you have, you can show people of all kinds of tribes and make tribal masks for creative artistic activities, kids wear them in dramatic playcentres can do.
You can also place paper towel tubes, pipe cleaners, markers, oculomotor eyes, etc. on the art shelf to see which animals they create.
Here are some examples of animals that can be introduced in books and photos.
Panthers
Snake
bear
monkey
zebra
Giraffe
elephant
Cheetah
crocodile
Rhino
bird
Hippopotamus
Feel free to talk with the children. Talk about animal colors, teeth, eyes, and the animals that each child likes best.
If you want, you can also touch on what the animal eats, but keep it simple. Children at this stage of life do not have to start learning words such as carnivores and herbivores. Panthers eat meat, monkeys eat fruits, giraffes eat tall leaves, and so on.
Kids will probably want to know where the animal house is in the jungle. This information should be easy to find in the books and photos you have. If not, the library has books about the individual animals you are talking about and will provide you with the information you need.
Here are some examples to get you started:
Animals find a home in their habitat (jungle) and make it a home for them and their animal families.
Jungle animal homes include nests, burrows, burrows, under rocks, in hollow tree trunks, and high up in trees.
Then you can talk about which animals live in the trees, which animals live under the rocks, and so on.
Examples of incorporating this theme into various programming areas of the classroom include:
Creating a dramatic jungle-themed playcentre:
Make a jungle jeep, safari jeep, or car out of the box, or put four chairs and a stand-up steering wheel in front of one chair.
Get a safari-like hat.
Children’s binoculars.
Pretend to be a camera.
Post pictures of jungle animals on the wall and watch preschool kids get hooked on this subject. 🙂
Here’s the idea of a sand sensation:
Put sand in the sensory bottle.
Find small rubber or plastic sand animals * found in the jungle. (Snake, beetle, insect, etc.)
Put these items in the sensory bottle and you’re done.
* I have had great success in finding almost everything I need in the dollar store. Search for them, I’m sure you will find what you are looking for.
Be as creative as you can on this theme. If you put your mind on it, the possibilities are endless. When you are listening to jungle music, you can incorporate creative movements into this. Ask the children to choose the animal they want to pretend to be and move on to that animal-like music. There is no right or wrong movement. Kids will have a lot of fun.
You can also move this theme to outdoor gross motor play. You can bring dramatic play equipment such as hats, binoculars and cameras outdoors. Place your stuffed animal around the playground (be sure to wash it when you bring it that day) and go outdoors. Safari hunt.
Children can ride their bikes on their own tours, take part in “lion / bear hunting”, escape from animals, tilt their toes and roam the sleeping animals.
Remember to use your imagination to expand what your children are doing and saying.
Embark on an adventure with amazing jungle-themed lessons.
