4. Bird – join both of your thumbs together and and move rest of the palm like bird wings

5. Chicken – place your hands under armpits and move like small wings

6. Alligator – extend your arms out in front of you and clamp them both together like an alligator’s jaws

7. Bear – hold your two hands above your head like giant bear claws

11. Monkey – Say sounds like: "Uuu! Aaa! Iii!" and bounce your chest with fists

How to play

1. Remember! Each person adopts to the animal of the seat

2. During the game all players must hold the beat: 1-2-3-4 pattern, where 1 is a pat on the knee, 2 is a clap, 3 and 4 are left and right thumbs (or the signals)

3. All players are doing the beat through the game without stopping

4. First move is to the King Elephant: 1) do the beat with Elephant move on 3 and 4; 2) do the beat with other players move on 3 and 4

5. Next follows this other player again: 1) do the beat with his move on 3 and 4; 2) do the beat with next players beat on 3 and 4

6. Game continues like this until the moment when someone makes a mistake

7. This person now becomes worm and everyone else moves up by sliding up a seat. Those who change seats take on the role of a new animal.

8. The goal is to try to be the King Elephant by knocking out anyone in front of you.

How to win

Main goal is to have fun! Be sure to get everyone to make funny animal sound effects when they do their signal too.
