I have popsicle sticks with pictures of the different animals on one side and smiling faces on the other, than kids can choose a stick and we do the action to "Do As I'm Doing".  (Idea by Elisa)

Animals are...
 

   clap like a seal

   shake like a rattlesnake

   sway back and forth like an elephant

   march like an ant

   scratch like a monkey

   flap your wings like a butterfly

   peck like a woodpecker

   hop like a kangaroo

   wag like a dog
