Instructions

Gather the Players

Have everyone stand up in a space where they can move around freely.

Call Out an Animal

Choose an animal like a frog, bird, elephant, or butterfly. Announce it with energy and excitement!

Act Like the Animal

Encourage everyone to mimic the animal’s movement:
  • Frog: Jump up and down with bent knees.
  • Bird: Flap your arms and pretend to fly.
  • Elephant: Swing your arm like a trunk.
  • Butterfly: Flutter around the room with light steps.

Switch It Up

Keep the game lively by calling out new animals, letting kids get creative with their movements, or even adding sound effects!
