Chinese zodiac cards to print

Ages: Young children

Preparation:

You will need to assign each child (or group of children) a Chinese Zodiac animal. You can do this by whispering to them, letting them pick a name on a slip out of a hat, or handing them one of our Chinese Zodiac Cards.

How to play:

12 or less children - calm version:
Each child takes it in turns to make their animal's noise and the other children guess what they are.

12 or less children - noisy version:
All the children make their animal noise at once while walking around the room and also try to identify the other animals!

12 or less children - noisy, alphabetical challenge:
As the previous version, but this time the children must also organize themselves into alphabetical order.

To form children into pairs or teams:
Assign two or more children the same animal. At your signal, everybody makes their noise and walks around the room looking for their partner or team.
