Elefantös

 

One child uses words, gestures or sounds to describe an animal. The other playes try to guess the correct animal. Each player starts with a supply of animals, no doubles in the supply. In his move a player rolls the die and uses descriptions, gestures or sounds according to the symbol on the die. If a player has the same animal in his hand as the describing child, both may put it away. A variant uses a die with additional, more difficult symbols for hint giving, e.g. where does the animal live.
