How to Play
Take turns naming different animals with your child and acting out how they move. Gallop like a horse, hop like a bunny, fly like a bird, stand on one foot like a flamingo etc.
Some Tips
Try this game outside, where children can explore grass, trees and different landscapes.
Make it Easier
Choose more animals that are upright or on two feet. When on four "feet" use knees to crawl.
Make it Harder
Choose many different types of movement (e.g., hopping like a bunny, a crab crawl, etc.). When moving like a four legged animal, use hands and feet instead of knees.
