• Teacher asks the following questions and the students point to the pictures of the places: ¿Dónde está la granja?, ¿Dónde está el circo?, ¿Dónde está la selva?, ¿Dónde está la casa?
• Students listen to teacher state the name of an animal and then point to a picture of the place where the animal lives. (Some animals, such as the horse, may live in two places.)
• Teacher tosses an animal to a student who walks over to the picture of that animal's corresponding place of residence.
• Students respond to open-ended questions about each animal and its place of residence. (¿Dónde vive el elefante?)
• Students are grouped into pairs. Give each pair a sheet with animal pictures on it. Student A points to and names an animal and asks another student to name the place where the animal lives. Student B then points to a different animal, asking Student A where that animal lives. Student A responds with the animal's residence. Students repeat this procedure until they have asked each other about all of the animal pictures.
