Circle up in chairs. Each person chooses an animal and a motion to go with the animal. We usually make the leader the elephant and he/she always goes first at the start of each round.
The first person does his/her animal motion and another person’s motion. That person has a second or two to do his/her motion and then someone else’s motion. If someone does the wrong motion or is too slow, they’re out. If you do the motion of someone who’s been knocked out, you’re out.
This game should be done in silence, but you can say the animals with the motions for the first round just to get things going if you like.
My group LOVES this game and many have permanently claimed certain animals as theirs. Even when they aren’t present, no one can be that animal – pretty cool, huh?
Thanks to Pastor2Youth.com for lending us this game!
