Welcome to the Zoo Adventure!

Introduction

🌟 Good morning, little explorers! 🌟 Today, we’re going to embark on an exciting journey to a magical place where animals from all around the world live together—the zoo! Put on your imaginary explorer hats and let’s get started!

Setting the Scene

Let’s Make Animal Sounds!

Before we dive into our zoo adventure, let’s warm up with some fun! Everyone, can you make the sounds of your favourite animals?

• 🦁 Lion: "ROAR!"
• 🐒 Monkey: "OOH OOH AAH AAH!"
• 🐘 Elephant: "TOOT TOOT!"
• 🐧 Penguin: "HONK HONK!"

(Invite the children to take turns making sounds. Have fun with it!)

Story Time

Now, let me tell you a short story about a little monkey named Milo who dreamed of visiting the zoo.

Milo’s Adventure

Once upon a time, in a bright green jungle, there lived a cheerful little monkey named Milo. One sunny morning, Milo heard a loud parade of animals. Curious, he swung from tree to tree until he found his friends—an elephant, a zebra, and a flamingo.

“Where are you all going?” Milo asked excitedly.

“To the zoo!” they all shouted together.

“Oh, I want to come! I’ve never seen a zoo before!” cried Milo.

So off they went, singing and dancing all the way to see all the magnificent animals—a big lion who roared, a cuddly panda munching on bamboo, and even colourful parrots flying in the sky!

Discussions

After the story, let’s chat!

• What animals do you think Milo saw at the zoo?
• Have you ever been to a zoo? What was your favourite animal there?

Activity Time

Create Your Own Animal!

Now it's your turn to be an artist! Let’s draw our favourite animal from the zoo. You can use crayons, markers, or even glitter if you like shiny things!

• Remember to think about what colours your animal is, and what its home looks like.

Once you finish, we'll have a mini "animal parade" and each of you can show your artwork to the class!

Conclusion

🎉 Fantastic job, everyone! 🎉 You all did so well today, from making animal sounds to creating beautiful drawings. The zoo is an exciting place full of amazing creatures, and you’ve all helped bring it to life!

Now that we're all part of Milo's adventure, let’s end our lesson by singing a fun animal song before we go.

Let's Sing!

(Sing a simple animal-related song such as “Five Little Ducks” or “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” to wrap up the lesson.)

Remember, explorers, the next time you visit the zoo, you will be able to tell your friends all about the wonderful adventure Milo had!
