Animal Dance

  1. Get a group of friends or family and choose a leader.

  2. The person who’s the leader stands in front, says an animal out loud, and turns to face away from the group.

  3. Everyone dances like that animal. When the leader turns back around, everyone freezes! The leader watches to see who moves.

  4. If anyone moves when they are supposed to be frozen, they become the new leader, and the game begins again. Play until everyone gets a turn to be the leader!

  5. Dance until the animals need a rest. When the game is over, take a break and pretend to sleep like your animal.
