Leafy animal impressions
Who am I? Use leaves as props to turn into animals and guess each other's.

A tiny plan for your day
Estimated time: 2 min to gather · 7 min to play · 1 min to tidy. It's fine to stop early.
Before you start
What you’ll need
- A pile of fallen leaves in different shapes and sizes
Let's begin
Five simple steps
That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.
Choose an animal secretly.
Use leaves as props: big leaves for elephant ears, long ones for a tail, a spiky one for a hedgehog.
Act it out with sounds and moves.
- Together
Everyone guesses who you are.
Swap turns.
All done!
That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
