Every child belongs to an animal family. The children walk around the room making their animal noise until the find their 'family', when they must sit down with their group. </p><p>Next, the teacher sing-songs: <em>Who are you?</em> The children reply in sing-song-voices: <em>We are the cows!</em> (for example). An easy way to show the children how to reply is to <a href="/admin/entries/faqs/277-faqs">model</a> what to do - first being the teacher asking the question and then pretending to be a child giving the answer.</p>                                                                    <div class="img img_sml">        <img class="lazy_img" src="https://rippleeducation.blob.core.windows.net/media/alaina-mclearnon-P_t9mRLFoRs-unsplash.png" alt="Alaina Mclearnon P T9M Rlfo Rs Unsplash">    </div>                                                                <h3>The Alphabet Family</h3><p>The letters belong to the alphabet family!
