Early Literacy Tip – Making animal noises with your child is a great way to help your child learn the sounds of language. So, growl, hiss and roar. Have fun and you’ll be helping your child learn.
Book: Zoo-Looking by Mem Fox
Zoo Noises (from Felt Board Fingerplays by Liz and Dick Wilmes)
I’m a bear – hear me growl! (talk like a bear.)
I’m a lion – hear me roar! (talk like a lion.)
(continue with other animals)
I’m really a child – Hear me laugh! (laugh)
Book: The Seals on the Bus by Lenny Hort
Mr. Jeepers (sing to Old McDonald)
Mr. Jeeps was a zookeeper, e-i-e-i-o
And in his zoo he had a lion, e-i-e-i-o
With a roar, roar here and a roar, roar there
Here a roar, there a roar, everywhere a roar, roar
(continue with tiger…grr; snake…hiss; bear…growl; monkey…chee chee)
Elephant Goes Like This
The elephant goes like this like that
(clasp hands and swing like a trunk)
He’s terrible big
(hold arms up high)
and terrible fat
(hold arms out)
He has no fingers he has no toes
(wiggle fingers and toes)
But goodness gracious! What a nose!
(clasp hands and swing like a trunk)
Book: From Head to Toe by Eric Carle
Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My! (chant getting faster and faster)
We Are Leaving (sing to the tune of “Frere Jacques”)
We are leaving, we are leaving,
Time to go, time to go.
It was nice to see you,
It was nice to see you.
Good-bye. Good-bye.
