In order to play this game, the children will become the animal whose music they hear. So you start playing say the Kangaroo's music. The children listen and as soon as they know which animal it is, they become that animal and start moving around. You should by now see kids hopping all over the room. As soon as most of the children are doing the correct animal, you say "I See It" and they have to freeze right where they are until the next piece begins. To reinforce their learning, say something like "Yes, I see kangaroos jumping all over the room!"
Do this with all of the pieces. You may have to give a little assistance this first time - especially on the slow pieces which they may confuse. You can play this often until you see them successfully identifying the pieces.
Here are some You Tube clips of the various pieces. For this exercise we don't care what the graphics are. Remember you can use Free You Tube Downloader to download these pieces as mp3 files if you prefer to do that. I personally like some of the You Tube videos for the kids. The Fossils is a really good one!
