Tree Frog Treks Mind Map

Tell the class: “Imagine that you are becoming your favorite animal. Put both hands on the side of your head and say: Mind map, mind map, mind map splash!”

In the mind map you will tell them what they will be doing for the lesson that day.

Have students pretend to grab a snack and have a drink as their favorite animal in the mind map, then, have them pull themselves out of the mind map and begin the lesson.

Say: “O.K. now pull yourselves out 3-2-1 sssssshwhew!” and knock off your hat or rub your brow or make a funny sound.
