What's the animal?

We lay down on the floor and relaxed while listening to some famous classical music.  We had to guess what animal the music was about. 


When the music ended we made a list of the creatures we thought the music was about.
We thought it was about a.... mouse, snake, spider, giraffe, monster, lion, rabbit...

The music was actually about a bumblebee!  (One clever boy guessed right!)

We listened to 'The Flight of the Bumblebee' by Rimsky-Korsakov again
and tried to imagine what the bee was doing.

Later on we also listened to part of Saint-Saëns' 'Carnival of the Animals'
and imagined what the lions and tortoise were doing.
