Hey Kids! ❤

Let’s do a physical activity while still learning about elephants! 🐘🏃

This activity can be played anywhere!!

What did the children do during this activity:

In this activity, the children were divided into groups. For example, a group who wore a mouse headband while another group wore an elephant headband. The children were playing a game which was similar to the game of ”catch”, where the mouse had to catch the elephant. Throughout this game, the children were enhancing their gross motor skills. 🐘🏃🎭

Throughout this activity, the children learned that elephants are scared of mice and this activity was also inspired from the story ‘The Kind Mice’. Below, you can hear and watch the story once again! 😀

Hey Kids! ❤

Did you know that elephants use their tusks to remove tree bark, dig for roots or make holes to find water?

Do you want to try? 😀 🐘

Description and Resources Needed:

Elephant Digging Tusks is a sensory and math table top activity which focuses on numbers from 1-10.

• You need to have leaves numbered from 1-10 (you can even laminate them to hold up well in the sand).

• You need to use a tray to put the sand in.

• Bury the number leaves in the sand and the children used their tweezers to dig like elephants.

• After uncovering all the leaves, let the children identify them and place them in order (you can even challenge them to place them backwards).
