What You Will Need: Nothing!
Set-Up: Gather a group of kids to stand in a circle. Invite one participant to move to the middle alongside the instructor.
How to Play: Whisper a certain animal to the child in the middle and assign them to act it out without using words (they can only use sound effects like growling or bird calls). Let the rest of the group know that they must guess the animal as quickly as possible after you say “ready, set, act!”. Once the middle child begins miming the animal, the first kid outside the circle to shout out the correct animal swaps places with them in the middle and begins a charade for the next animal. This is a fast-paced game that keeps kids moving and excited.
