Rain Forest
Books
Over In The Rain Forest: This book uses the common song,
"Over In The Meadow". A
great way
to introduce different animals that live in the rain forest and to
reinforce numbers (1-10).
A Rain Forest Adventure
Dramatic Play
Play different rainforest sounds or animal sounds (or music).
I have some on this page: Animal
Sounds and
Calls.
Pretend you are in rainforest. Hear the rain falling from the
sky. See the tall

making.
Hear the wings flapping. Pretend to flap your wings, walk

Pretend
you are moving from tree to tree. Oh, it grabbed a banana, ...
What
color is the banana? Pretend to eat a banana, ... Shh. Here
