Class Educators lined up children for a fun race and assigned each group an animal that is #distinctive in their movements to kids. The children ran, hopped, and crawled across the space and back and continued one after the other.

The activity was a #playful introduction to motion in the animal kingdom that invited the young enthusiasts to learn some of the unusual ways that animals get around.
