Act out the animals

• Pretending is a very important aspect of theatre. That is what all actors do; they pretend to be the characters in plays, TV shows and movies. 
  
• Pretend means: To act as if something is real when it is not. 
  
• How many animals can you act out? Can you get someone else to guess what animal you are pretending to be? 
  
• Options: parents tell the kids what to animal to act out. They can do it with or without any noise (without noise is a little harder). If siblings or any other person is available can the student get them to guess what animal they are doing? (Charades)
