Head and Foot

Head and Foot

One game, many possibilities

Players engage playfully with native animals. Three game variants are used.

Variant 1 Memory game:

It contains 12 matching pairs. Each pair consists of a depicted track and the corresponding animal card.

Variant 2 Charades:

One person draws the frog: “Ribbit!”. Another person guesses the sound.

Variant 3 Who belongs together

Players look at their card face down and then imitate the depicted animal. Now it’s time to find a partner. Frog to frog, horse to horse — until all pairs have found each other.

Practical tip:

The two variants “Charades” and “Who belongs together” are also suitable as a circle game or, in a more active form, as a movement activity. Whether played with sounds or pantomime can be varied.

Educational objectives:

• Getting to know native animals and their tracks through playful matching.
• Promoting memory skills by memorizing the cards in the “Memory” variant.
• Bridging language barriers by speaking in animal sounds.
• Promoting nonverbal communication by playing silently.
• Promoting gross motor skills and joy of movement by pantomimically imitating animal movements.
• The “Who belongs together” variant offers a sense of achievement for every child, as everyone finds their partner.
• Supporting self-confidence through imitating the animals and the sense of achievement.
