Today, we’ll talk about how everyone and everything moves differently. People can walk, run, or jump. Can you show me how you walk and make walking sounds?
Animals move in unique ways too. Birds fly, fish swim, and cats can climb. What’s your favorite animal and how does it move?
Now, machines make cool movements too. Cars zoom, planes soar, and trains chug-chug. What machine movements have you seen?
