Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Form a circle, with you standing in the middle.
  2. Establish a series of unique physical gestures and sounds which create the form of three animals, each involving three people. For example:
    – Elephant: one person uses their arms to create a trunk, while their two neighbours circle their arms to the side to create large ears;
    – Cow: one person interlocks fingers and turns their hands upside down to point their thumbs down, while their two neighbours each grab one of these thumbs as if milking them: and
    – Kangaroo: one person forms a pouch using their arms in front of themselves, while their two neighbours lean on this person’s closet shoulder and thump their outside legs.
  3. To start, randomly point to one person in the circle and call out the name of one of the three animals, and quickly count to ten.
  4. Immediately, this person and their two neighbours, must arrange their bodies to look like the animal, making the appropriate sound, before you get to “…TEN.”
  5. If one of the three people in the circle makes a mistake, or is too slow, the most deserving person is invited to swap positions with you in the middle of the circle.
  6. After several minutes, add extra people in the centre of the circle, or try a variation.
