King Frog – Hilarious Circle Game

1. Sit in a circle, including yourself, where everyone can see everyone else.
2. Each person thinks of a unique action and sound that mimics an animal, eg gorilla beating its chest.
3. In turn, rotate around the circle to introduce everyone’s gesture and sound, starting with you.
4. As leader, introduce yourself as King Frog, as you move one palm swiftly over the palm of your other hand away from you (as if a frog was jumping off a lily pad.)
5. Mimic the gesture and sound of each animal as they are introduced around the circle, one at a time.
6. Each round starts with King Frog performing their action, followed immediately by the gesture and sound of another animal.
7. This will instruct the person who is represented by that (second) animal to respond by quickly doing their action and follow it with the actions of another animal, and so on.
8. Encourage your group to maintain the rhythm of the gestures and sounds as quickly and accurately as possible.
9. If someone makes a mistake or is too slow to respond, they must leave their seat and sit directly to the left of King Frog, meaning everyone in between moves to the empty seat on their left.
10. Importantly, when someone moves into a new seat, they will assume the animal that originated in that seat, ie players do not take their animal with them.
11. Each individual aims to move steadily around the circle until they arrive in the King Frog’s seat.
12. Play as many rounds as your group has the energy.
