Stuffed Animal Charades- Three Versions

     In a separate room, place all of the stuffed animals into a box. Have one child close their eyes and randomly pick an animal. The child then returns to the party room and pretend to be the type of animal they chose while the other children make guesses. The first child to guess correctly is the winner! This game can be made very easy for younger children by allowing them to act out the type of animal in any way they choose- the only rule being they cannot actually say the name of the animal. This game can be adapted for older children by having them pantomime the type of animal- no noise at all! For groups of children who need an even bigger challenge, rather than acting, have the child draw a picture of the animal while they are blindfolded. Set up an easel with a chair next to it so they can draw while the other guests make guesses.
