It's easy to revise animals!!!
Use the I like to move it video clip to revise animal vocabulary in class. First, the students watch the video and write as much animal vocabulary as they can. Then, they compare their results. Finally, you can watch the video again to revise. Children love films like Madagascar so it easy to revise vocabulary using these kind of materials.
