Bunny Rabbit, Bunny Rabbit

Materials: none

You need at least 5 people to play. You start with everyone in a circle. One person is the “bunny rabbit, bunny rabbit.” This person starts the game. Now, everyone in the circle chooses an animal, such as: “iguana, iguana,” “cat, cat,” or “shark, shark,” etc. Along with the animals, each person has to make a sign with their hands. For example, “rabbit, rabbit” would place both hands on the side of the head to form two ears. Another example would be “crocodile, crocodile”, it will put its arms in front like the mouth of an alligator.

You can invent more animals with hand signals as needed. Now “bunny rabbit, bunny rabbit” begins the game by pointing its signal and saying: “rabbit, rabbit, cat, cat”. Now it’s the turn of “cat, cat.” You’re still going from player to player in no particular order. When someone is wrong, they must move from their position and sit to the left of the “rabbit, rabbit”. We call that character “pig, pig” and they must make a pig’s nose as their signal. The game can be really intense and fun, because when someone slips, everyone laughs. It’s usually a funny mistake.
