Zozo’s stories demonstrate aspects of myths and fables. The following activities have been written with the Giraffe’s Neck (CD Rom: Stories and Rhymes) in mind. The Giraffe’s Neck could inspire children to write their own stories focusing on animals’ defining characteristics: giraffe-neck, kangaroo-hop, rhinoceros-horn, lion-mane, tiger-stripes etc, describing how an animal gained one its features.
It would be helpful if children have already studied the characteristics of creatures featured on the CD Rom in the Meet the Animals and Spaces and Places sections.
