The Lion Hunt

• It’s a beautiful day so let’s go on a lion hunt [tap hands on top of knees – representing walking].

• Oh, look, there’s some tall grass – let’s go through it [arms are moving like pushing tall grass to the sides in order to go through it]. 

• [continue walking] 

• There’s a fence [point with one hand while shading eyes with the other]!

• Let’s climb over it [pretend to climb and jump over a fence with arms and hands].

• [continue walking]

• I’m so hot – [wipe brow]

•  Oh, look, there’s a lake.  [point with one hand while shading eyes with the other]!

• Let’s swim to the other side [swim with arms].

• Wasn’t that great?  [extend arms out like you are asking a question]

• I feel cooler now. [continue walking]

• Look!  There’s a tree!  [point with one hand while shading eyes with the other]!

• Let’s go climb it [pretend to climb a tree]

• [look around] Oh look! 

• There’s a mountain over there [point with one hand while shading eyes with the other]!

• I see a cave up there.  Let’s go see what is in the cave [continue walking and then pretend to be hiking up the mountain using your arms and hands].  

• Whew, here’s the cave [start to speak in hushed tones or quietly].

• Let’s go inside and see what’s in here.  Oh, it’s dark in here!  [put thumbs and index fingers in a circle and place around the eyes].

• Oh, I see 2 eyes! Oh, I see 4 eyes [move the circled fingers to forehead as if removing the binoculars] 

• LET’S GET OUF OT HERE!  [tap hands on top of knees quickly – representing running!].

• Let’s hike down the mountain [climb down the mountain]

• [continue running] Climb down the tree.

• [continue running] Swim across the lake [swim with arms]

• [continue running] Jump over the fence [climb and jump over fence] 

• [continue running] Go through the tall grass [arms are moving like pushing tall grass to the sides in order to go through it].

• [Slow hands down to a stop]. Oh, we made it home safely – are we all here?  [count off or name each child].

• Yep!  Thank goodness we all made it back.  Wasn’t that fun!!
