Activities you could try yourself:

1. Make a pop up book of animals in which an animal might move e.g when you open a page the giraffe's leg kicks.

Have a look at a pop up version of the book for examples.

2. Make up a dance that Gerald could do.

3. Research about giraffes. What do you like to eat, where do they live? You could make a poster or a book to show what you find out or make a digital presentation to share.

4. Make a dancing giraffe using the template attached.  Join together with split pins or one corner of a staple.

5. Make a hand print giraffe

6. Make an animation of a dancing animal.  You could narrate the story yourself and add in some animation.  If you have scratch you could make a scratch animation.
