Supply List

  • 3” x 5” index cards (one for each player)
  • Black magic marker

Objective

Find your buddy who is the same animal as you are.

Set-Up

Create a list of common animals that are easy to imitate.  Write the name of each animal on two cards (if you have an odd number of players write one of the animals on three cards).

  • Chicken
  • Horse
  • Cow
  • Pig
  • Monkey
  • Elephant
  • Dog
  • Cat

Directions

Shuffle the cards and hand them out to each player.  Each player reads their card to themselves, keeping it a secret.  Collect the cards.  On the game leader’s signal, everyone starts acting like the animal that was on their card; at the same time, they are looking for someone who is acting like the same animal.  Once they find their buddy they stop.  The game ends when everyone has found their buddy.
