Animals Flashcards
Cat
Start with one hand in front of you, bending at the knuckles, with your fingers leaning on a downwards angle. Swipe your other hand towards yourself twice.
Dog
Pat your thigh twice.
Rabbit
Make an L shape with your thumbs, pointer fingers, and middle fingers. Place your thumbs just above your temples and bend your pointer and middle fingers down and up twice.
Bird/Chicken
Start in a fist excluding your thumb and pointer finger which should be pressed together. Rest your knuckle on your lips with your fingers pointing outwards. Open your fingers to stretch them out before bringing them back to the starting position. Do it again.
Horse
Start with your non-dominate hand in a fist excluding your pointer and middle fingers. Lay the next to each other and point them in the natural diagonal with your palm facing between yourself and the opposite side. With your other hand, create a V shape and place the V on top of the non-dominate hand with your fingers facing down. Move along the non-dominate hands diagonal in two arches.
Sheep
Start in a fist excluding your pinky. Place your pinky on the outside of your mouth with your palm facing behind yourself. Swipe your pinky across your cheek before placing back at the start and swiping it again.
Cow
Make circles with both your hands and place them onto your head with the pinkies on top. Swoop your hands out and up to create a movement mimicking cow horns.
Giraffe
Create a C shape with your hand and cradle your neck. Lift your chin as you push the hand upwards and above your head, like a giraffe neck.
Elephant
Scrunch your hand into a fist and place the thumb side onto your nose. Swoop your hand in an upwards arch into a downwards arch to mimick an elephant nose.
Lion
Start with your hands flat with your fingers slightly splayed out. Rest the tops of your fingers on each side of your head and wiggle your fingers as you bring your arms down to shoulder height.
Monkey
Place your hands in front of your chest with your palms facing yourself and your fingers going on the diagonal. Bend your fingers on both hands so that the tips of your fingers rest on your chest. Swing your hands up and out before coming back in and doing it a total of three times.
Gorilla
With both your hands in fists, alternate swinging your hand out and smacking it on your chest. When one hand is out the other should be on your chest and they should move at the same time. Do this a few times.
Dinosaur
Lay your non-dominate hand flat so that your arm is going across your chest. With your other hand, press your fingers together excluding your pointer finger. Point your pointer finger up and place your hand at the wrist of your flat hand. Move your dominate hand in an arch to land in the middle of your forearm before doing one more to finish at your elbow.
