Attention Getter: Animal Sounds
Play the Zoo Animal Sounds on an iPad. Let the children listen to the types of animals they are hearing and guess what they are. (You may want to place pictures of each animal on the floor so that the children can look at them as they guess).

Activity 1: Mixed Up Animals
Before class, place pictures of the following habitats: forest, ocean, jungle, desert, and Arctic. Print a variety of pictures of animals that live in these habitats. Tape them on the board as well.
At circle time, show each habitat and describe some of its characteristics. Let the children add any ideas of what they know about each habitat as well. Then tell the class that the animals are all mixed up. They don't know which habitat to live in. Let each child come up, choose an animal and put it in its correct habitat.
