N2-4BGPF005 | Jungle Parade: Animal role play with storytime
By Dr. Rajeev Tamhankar and Riddhi Chincholikar
The Jungle Parade: Animal Role Play with Storytime activity combines imaginative storytelling with role-playing as jungle animals. Children will engage in an interactive story while pretending to be different animals, helping them develop creativity, communication skills, and confidence.
- Choose a jungle-themed story or create your own adventure featuring various animals.
- As you narrate the story, encourage your child to act out the roles of different animals (e.g., roaring like a lion, swinging like a monkey).
- Use props such as masks, stuffed animals, or scarves to enhance the experience.
- Pause the story at moments where the child can improvise movements or sounds.
- Conclude with a discussion about the animals and their behaviors in the jungle.
- Encourages creativity and imaginative play.
- Improves language and communication skills.
- Enhances listening and comprehension abilities.
- Develops confidence in self-expression.
- Include both familiar and exotic fruits/veggies to expand exposure.
- Share fun facts about each item (e.g., “Carrots were originally purple!”).
- Use child-safe tools for cutting or shaping produce.
- Make it interactive by asking children to guess the fruit/vegetable while blindfolded.
- Keep allergenic items like nuts separate if used as decorations.
- A variety of fresh fruits and vegetables (pre-washed).
- Child-safe knives or cutters for slicing.
- Plates, trays, and bowls for sorting and arranging.
- Small spoons or forks for tasting.
- Napkins and a cleanup station.
- Optional: Flashcards or charts showing nutritional information for each item.
