How to Play — Animals
Animal charades is a crowd favorite! The secret to nailing animal charades is to capture the ONE most distinctive feature of the animal. Every animal has a signature move: elephants have their trunk (swing your arm), penguins waddle (arms at sides, take tiny steps), monkeys scratch and jump, cats curl up and lick their paws. Start with the animal's movement pattern — how does it walk? Does it fly, swim, hop, or slither? Then add details like size (crouch for small animals, stand tall for giraffes). For less obvious animals, you can show where they live (water? jungle? arctic?) as an extra clue.
