Animal Hunt - place animal pictures outside and walk around the church grounds and have children find the animals. (Idea by Maria Wolfe)
Animal Puzzles - you can print off animals that are cut in thirds. Then you arrange the animals with different heads, stomachs, and feet. You can rematch them back to their original animal.
Itty Bitty Animal Names
Go on an animal hunt.  Tape pictures of animals, face down in the room (one for each child to take off the wall).  We all were veeeeeeeeeery quiet, Shhhhhhhhhhh, so we didn't SCARE the animals away.
Make an ark out of a large cardboard box. Pretend you are Noah and his family and load up the ark.  There are really cute Noah’s Ark stickers in most places that carry stickers.

Animal Houses 

Here is a nest for bluebirds- (cup hands together to make a nest)

Here is a hive for bees- (interlock fingers to make a hive)

Here is a hole for the bunny- (make a circle with index finger and thumb to make a hole)

And here is a house for me!  - (touch fingertips together to make a roof)


 

Duck, Duck, Goose

This very popular game never loses its magic.  Seat the children in a circle and choose one child to be “it”.

That child walks around the circle and taps the others on the head saying “duck”.  When she taps a child on the head and says “goose,” that child gets up and runs around the circle trying to tag the child who is “it”.  If the child who is “it” sits down in the empty place before she is caught, the new child becomes “it”.

LDS Primary Lesson Helps for Lesson 35



(Credit Unknown) I took the tune to wheels on the bus and changed it a little to fit this lesson. The lion on the ark says roar, roar, roar, roar, roar, roar .... all through the water. We used different animals and used there sounds. I made puppets to go with the song. On the website www.dltk-kids.com they have animal paper sack puppets that I used to go along with the song.
