Ask the children what do the know about rhinos.
We know that they can only see straight in front so if we get chased by a rhino we must run in a zig zag pattern.
Tell the children we are going on a rhino chase.

What do we see?
It’s rainy season in the jungle so we there is mud everywhere.
We can try to go through it, all the children go through it but they get stuck and start to sink. They start to pull each other out. They all hold on to each other and finally get each other out. Teacher can help with this?
What will do now? I know! Hop on an elephant because they are strong and tall and can get through the mud. Everyone hop on! Everyone rides the elephant through the mud. Moves slowly through the mud.

What do we see?
A long river. Everyone lets get ready and dive in and swim across. Everybody jumps in. The water is very rough. We get bashed from left to right. We see a crocodile and jump on him so we can arrive safely across the water. We all crawl out of the river. We dry off and continue on our journey.

What do we see?
We see big thick trees. We try to go through them but it is very difficult. We are all getting tired and hungry. We drink some water. Then suddenly we hear some monkeys swinging from the trees above. They call us so we swing from branch to branch just like the monkeys. We can make the sound of monkeys. Eventually we come out of the big thick jungle and we climb down the trees and continue on our way.

It is getting very hot so we decide to have our lunch. We take out our lunch. Ask the children what they brought for their lunches? We eat our lunch and drink the water. Then we decide to relax and we fall asleep. Everyone is asleep and snoring. Then we feel some thing next to us. We still have our eyes closed and we put our hands out to feel whatever is next to us. We feel four hard feet, some very thick leathery skin and then a very pointed and sharp horn. We open our eyes and we see a great big fierce rhino.
We run zig zag through the jungle. We hear the rhino coming after us. We come to thick jungle and we climb a tree. The rhino is banging on the tree so we have to hold on tight. Then we swing zig zag from tree to tree with the monkeys and we get out of the thick jungle. We climb down the tree but the rhino is still following us. We run until we get to the river. We see the crocodile and jump on him and he swims zig zag across the river but we look back and see the rhino following us. He seems very angry. We crawl out of the river and keep running but the rhino is following closely behind. We jump on the elephant and he goes zig zag across the mud. We climb down from the elephant and run as faster as we can to our jungle lodge. We shut the door, lock the windows and hid under the bed and now we are safe we fall asleep.
