This activity connects literacy, creativity and movement. Students act out different animals in the book "Waddle" as the teacher reads aloud. When the animal name and the verb describing how that animal is read, students move like the animal and continue until the next animal movement is read. Students improve psychomotor skills and cognitive skills.
