Head and Foot

Head and Foot

One game, many possibilities

The players playfully engage 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 Pantomime:

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

Variant 3 Who belongs together

The players look at their card face down and then imitate the depicted animal. Now it’s time: find a partner. The frog to the frog, the horse to the horse – until all pairs have been found.

Practical tip:

The two variants “Pantomime” and “Who belongs together” are also suitable as a circle game or, in a slightly more active version, 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. Because everyone finds their partner.
• Supporting self-confidence. Through imitating the animals and the sense of achievement.
