Suggested Family Activity: Pig Snorting Contest
Suggested Family Activity: Pig Snorting Contest
Since we are learning about farm animals this week, have a Pig Snorting Contest today! Gather all your family and friends and have each person take a turn making their best pig snort. Then, decide who has the best snort! Different categories could be Silliest Snort, Loudest Snort, Funniest Snort, or even Least Like a Pig Snort. You could have the same contest with other animal sounds, such as neighing like a horse, mooing like a cow, baaing like sheep, and so on.
If you have little ones in your house who are just learning which animals make which sounds, you can also pull out a variety of plastic or stuffed farm animals to help them tell the difference. Ask them questions, such as “What is the animal doing?” or “What does it say?” Reinforce the animals and their noises by singing a round or two of “Old MacDonald Had a Farm” with them.
