Lesson flow
Children guess animals from imitated sounds and act them out, sing farm-animal songs pausing to answer 'What sound?', and match animals to their homes (cow-barn, duck-pond). The second lesson surveys classmates about which animals they like, builds a paper farm scene labelling each animal, and performs a farm-drama roleplay as different animals with a farmer asking where each one is.
