The elephant walks,
thunk, Thunk, THUNK!
With big, flapping ears
and a long gray trunk.
This is an action rhyme. Can you walk three steps with heavy feet making the thunk, Thunk, THUNK? Can you use your hands to flap big ears? Can you make a long trunk using your arms? Sometimes it is fun to walk like the animals. For your poetry challenge for today, can you pick an animal and write your own poem about how that animal moves? For more elephant activities check here.
How about a sloth?
Creep, Cr-e-e-p, cr-e-e-e-p,
a sloth moves through the trees.
He steps
so slowly
he barely
s-h-a-k-e-s
the leaves.
