You can name 3 animals that hop You can name 3 animals that run You can name 3 animals that jump You can show me how these animals move You can tell me why animals move differently
How Do You Move?
Can you walk? Can you run? Can you jump? Can you hop on one foot? What other ways can you move?
Animals That Hop
Kangaroos use their strong back legs Rabbits hop to move quickly Frogs hop from lily pad to lily pad Grasshoppers can hop very far! All these animals have powerful back legs
Let's Hop Like Animals!
Hop like a kangaroo - big jumps with both feet Hop like a rabbit - quick little hops Hop like a frog - crouch down low then jump Hop like a grasshopper - one big leap!
Animals That Run
Cheetahs are the fastest runners Dogs run to play and chase Horses gallop with all four legs Lions run to catch their food These animals have long, strong legs for running
Animals That Jump
Cats jump onto high places Dolphins jump out of the water Monkeys jump from tree to tree Fleas can jump very high for their size! Jumping helps animals reach food and escape danger
Why Do Animals Move Differently?
{"left":"Animals have different body shapes\nSome have long legs, some have short legs\nSome live in water, some live on land","right":"Some live in trees, some live on the ground\nTheir bodies are designed for where they live\nMovement helps them find food and stay safe"}
