Animals teach us empathy, compassion, and responsibility. Animal games and activities for kids can educate them about coexistence in their lives.
Playing animal-themed games is great fun for the kids and helps boost their creativity, intellectual abilities, and awareness. Here, we list ten interesting and enjoyable animal activities for kids.
Run Rabbit Run
Half of the group is called a fox, and the other half is called a rabbit. Bunny is lined up at one end of the play area. (Home) Foxes are scattered all over the gymnasium. Captain Rabbit takes her chick for a walk.
Animal Buddies
Is it similar to Who Am I? This time, whisper a name of an animal in each child’s ear. Tell them that another person with the same animal has at least one l as they are.
Animal Sounds
Randomly match the child to the animal species (they choose them from the container) as a teenager roams the room, given animal bark. It would help someone who makes the same noise.
Frisbee or Bean Bag Throw
Throw a small frisbee or bean bag on a large photo of a dog (or another animal) on the floor. The winner is the closest.
Charades Using Animal Crackers
The child removes the animal crackers from the bag/container and does not show them to other group members. Then they play with animals while other kids try to guess it.
T-Shirt Painting
Deliver a message about animals; design a plain, light-coloured t-shirt with messages themed to Keep wild animals wild; caring for animals, or any issue you feel strongly about.
Chicken Dance — to the chicken dance music!
To the beat of the music: Raise your hand and make four turns.
Cookie Decorating
Pre-bake batches of animal-shaped cookies and have children decorate them with coloured icing, chocolate chips, cinnamon hearts, sprinkles, etc.
Frozen Monkey Tricks
Peel a banana and cut it in half. Insert Popsicle sticks into the cut ends. Dip the bananas into yoghurt or melted chocolate, and then roll the bananas in chopped nuts, crushed cereal, or coconut shavings.
Animal Art With Food
Along with cookie cutters. Choose from ingredients of:
Bread Slices, cheese slices, crackers, pretzel sticks and knots, cubed cheese, raisins, grapes, celery, grated cheese, cream cheese and peanut butter to naturally stick ingredients together.
Line new, clean kitty litter box. Put the mixture into the litter box.
Place the three unwrapped Tootsie Rolls in a microwave-compatible bowl and heat until soft and supple. Shape the edges, so they are not dull and do not bend slightly. Repeat with three more tour vans and bury them in the mixture. Sprinkle the other half of the cookie crumb on top.
