Animal Name Game

Materials You Need: None

What You Can Do Together: The first person starts the game by saying, “I’m thinking of an animal that begins with the letter …”. The other players then take turns to ask questions to try and identify the animal. They can ask any question, so long as the answer can only be “yes” or “no”. For example, does the animal have four legs? Does it have a tail? Is the animal a mammal? Can it fly? Once the animal has been guessed correctly, it’s time to switch roles. Want to make it harder? Don’t give the players the letter clue!

Include extinct animals to make the game even harder!

What Your Child is Learning: Animal-mad kids will love putting their knowledge to the test in this brilliant guessing game. They’ll need to use their finest detective skills to figure out the mystery animal, working on both their critical thinking skills and knowledge of the animal kingdom, simultaneously!
