Act out Are You My Mother? by P.D. Eastman or Is Your Mama a Llama? by Deborah Guarino. Use a feather headband for the baby bird or wooly ears for the llama and any assortment of stuffed animals or puppets for the rest of the cast. The main character asks a question to each animal:


“Are you my Mother (Mama)?”


And the animals answer, “No, my Mother (Mama) is a _______.”


Finally the Mother Bird (or Llama) is asked the question and answers, “Of course I am.”


Then the performance ends with a hug.


This could be done in large group.
