The teacher will talk to the children as following:

What do the animals, our friends, like to eat? There are people at the zoos that prepare the breakfast and the lunch for them everyday.

Birds: wheat, corn, sunflower seeds and some fruits. There are also birds like eagles, kites, hawks,... that like hunting small mice, snakes,...
Monkeys: some fresh and dried fruits.
Elephants: fruits, trees branches and peanuts.
Bears: fish, wild fruits and honey.
Wolves: some kind of meat (rabbits and birds).
Tigers, lions and panthers: pieces of meat.
Giraffes: trees leaves.

The teacher prepares a mural in which there are as many boxes as children. In the lower part of each box he/she must draw five compartments (print supplementary material - click to open).

Each child has to bring a picture or drawing of his/her favourite animal. It will be placed in one of the boxes on the mural.

Each day the child will glue one picture or drawing of some food the animal he/she has chosen usually eats, in each one of the compartments.

At the end of the week it has to be checked that everybody had brought the food during the five days and that the food was right for the animals it was given to.
