 Animal Matching Another friend of Peter Rabbit is Jemima Puddle-duck, she lives on a farm with lotsof other animals. Encourage the children to match the Beatrix Potter characters

 with the real animals they represent by playing a simple matching game. What you will need:

l  Pictures of real animals. Suggestions are: ducks, squirrels, frogs, hedgehogs,rabbits, cats, mice, foxes and pigs.

 What to do:

l Lay the pictures of the real animals out on the floor and sit the childrenaround them.

l Hold up a picture of one of the characters and tell the children their name.Then ask, which animal do you think they are?

l  Allow the children a few guesses to see if they can work out which animalmatches which character. When they have a guess they can pick up the pictureof the animal from the floor.

l  When someone has correctly guessed which characters match which animal ask the children:

l How does this animal move? Get them to act this out.l  What noise does this animal make?l  Ask them to make the sound.l  What does this animal eat?l  Where does this animal live?
