Now you. Think of an animal. Say where it lives.
Class activity
My habitat picture. Fold a paper into three parts. Draw a desert, a sea and a jungle. Draw or cut out animals and glue them in the right home. Then say about each one: The monkey lives in the jungle. Play time: a grown-up gives a clue (‘I have a hump’) and you say the animal and where it lives.
