• Visual Aids (animals)
  

• Introduce and review song “Lion Sleeps Tonight”:  

“In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight” (x2)

“Oh weeeeeeee, oh weee oh mumboway” (x2)

• Offer visual cues of various animals (such as cat, dog, bird, penguin, whale, etc.). An option could be to use silly animal pictures.
• During lyrical line of “the Lion sleeps tonight” replace “Lion” with the animal chosen. For example: “In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the cat sleeps tonight”.
• Encourage identification of animal sounds to be used during “Oh wee” portion of song, or keep “Oh wee” portion as is. For example: “Oh meoooooow, Oh meow goes the cat”.

‍Possible modifications:

• Children can use gaze, pointing, or verbally make choices between animals displayed.
• Children that are able can also “create their own” animal through drawing and/or coloring.
