Introduction:

It is currently night time and all the animals are saying good night to their mothers.

Exercise 1:

We will now warm up our voices by learning how animals say good night to their mothers. For the first warm-up we are going to hoot like an owl:

How-How. How-How! (“O” Sound”)

When the sheep hear the owls they all run to their mothers and start to bleat. For the second warm-up we are going to bleat like a sheep:

Mee-Mee. Mee-Mee! ("e" Sound)

Far away in a town, a fire has started! The fire truck is rushing towards the fire, it's sirens wailing:

(Go from LOW to HIGH!) “Mee-Moo”

Exercise 2:

Now we are going to get our tongues twisted with a couple of rhymes.

Two tiny tigers take two taxis to town.
Seven slick slimey snakes slowly sliding southward

Repeat the tongue twisters until everyone can repeat it flawlessly.

Exercise 3:

As all the children go to sleep, their mothers tell them some poems to put them to sleep:

The coolness of the night

refreshes my skin.

The stars shine so bright,

causing me to grin.

Exercise 4:

Oh no, the fire in town is still burning! We will listen to a song that will teach us what to do when we see a fire. Teacher will show the learners the video so they can learn the words to the call and answer song.
