Instructions:
Create a grouping of cards that is equal to the number of participants that you have. Make sure that every animal has at least one match (There are six listings for each animal in the deck, 4 in Jr deck). Have each person take one card and not show it to anyone. Have each person look at the animal word on the top of the front of the card but not show or tell anyone what their animal is. When you say “GO”, have them find the other partner animals by making the sounds of or moving like their animal. Have them keep acting like their animals until all the families have been reunited.
For Example:
A horse finds another horse by prancing, neighing, or clopping around the room.
