PLAYED FOR YOU

Die verrückte Tierparty

FrogS croak, Sheep clap

Animals have parties, too, and we are guests at this party - we must react quickly and imitate the sounds and crazy movements of the animals at the correct moment.

Two cards are turned up from the well-shuffled, face-down stack and laid out next to each other. All play simultaneously. The next player quickly turns up two more cards and puts them next to the others. When there are three animals of the same kind visible on the cards all must quickly imitate the sound of dog or cat, cockerel, sheep, frog or pig. But when the cards in the display show the same action three times, you must imitate this action quickly; maybe you must jump up and down on one leg or must turn around once in a circle or put both hands above your hand and clap, form goggles with both your hands or groom yourself like a monkey. If you are the first to get it right when there are three cards on display that should result in a sound or action, you take all cards involved. Then you turn up two new cards and add them to the display. If you make a mistake and make a wrong sound or a wrong movement, you must discard a card. When two players react simultaneously, they split the cards between themselves; surplus ones are put beneath the stack. When there is no need for action as there are no three cards demanding one in the display, the next player simply turns up two more cards. When the stack is used up you win with most cards.

This is really one crazy party which is also a lot of fun; the movements are easily done indoors, too, and as a side effect observation and quick reactions are practiced unobtrusively and intensely.
