22 Free Animal Classroom Games for ESL and Kindergarten Classrooms
All the following games and activities for kindergarten, preschool and ESL students have been tried and tested in classrooms by The Magic Crayons, who are experienced teaching professionals. If you are planning a lesson to a theme, remember to check ourflash cards, crafts andsongspages too.
Materials: Animals Flash Cards
Level: All (tailor using the animals available)
Put some cards up on the board in a weakest to strongest order while modelling and practising actions for all.
For example.. Nen Sho -> fly < mouse < cat < dog < elephant
The kids all start as flys . they buzz about the room until the Daft Punk stops and then have to form pairs and janken (can be tricky but try to make sure they all understand they only janken once). Then line up champions and non champions. The champions are now mice. Congratulations. They get to squeak around while the lowly flys must still buzz.
Rinse and repeat until you get some elephants, using 'One time champion'->mice 'two times champion'->cats - the kids get what that means.

Show the students that the animal is very unhappy without a nose. Blindfold one student and give her a magnet (the animal’s nose). The other students in the class shout directions (up, down, left, right, ok) to the blindfolded student so that she can put the nose in the correct location. Variations include having the blindfolded students draw the nose and other facial features. This game can also be played in teams, with the winning team having drawn the best (i.e. least disfigured) animal.

Receptive Language: instructions, target vocab, ‘Shoot!’
Productive Language: target vocab, ‘Shoot!’
Game Explanation: Review the animal cards & have each student select an animal they'd like to be. On a large sheet of paper, each student draws their animal somewhere near the edge. Go first to demonstrate. Each animal can move 5 spaces (each space represented by a dash) in any direction, & can 'shoot' at any other animal after moving. To shoot, place the point of the pencil anywhere on the animal (which you'll have to redraw each turn after moving the 5 spaces), place your finger on the top of the pencil, & push down so that the pencil point streaks a 'shot' across the paper at one of your foes. If you manage to hit another animal, it's dead & is erased after being covered in hastily drawn gore. Play continues until only one animal - the 'Beastmaster' - remains.
Note: This game is easily modified to fit virtually any unit. Insist on standardised sizes for the dashes & the animals or you’ll be sorry.

Materials: Animals FCs
To play: Students make a circle. Put some of the animals cards, including the tiger card, face down in the middle. Pass a ball around to music. When the music stops, the student holding the ball can choose one card from the pile. If it is the tiger card, he/she becomes the tiger (aka 'ghost') and can eat anyone in the room.

Review the FCs. Introduce an action (and sound where appropriate) for each animal- either of your own or have the children choose one. have the children perform the actions when you call out an animal- include 'stop' and have everyone freeze between actions.

Game Explanation: Students sit in a circle with a card pool of mixed animal & non-animal cards in the middle. Demonstrate that, one by one, the students will turn over a card, identify it, & place it in a pile in the centre of the card pool. If an animal card is turned over, all of the students must put their hands on the pile. The last student to do so - i.e., the student left with his hand on top of the pile of hands on top of the pile of cards - must collect all of the cards in the pot. The student with the lowest number of cards in hand at the end of the game is the winner. As a variation, whoever turns over an animal card must attempt to tag the other students before they can touch one of the classroom walls; whoever’s caught get hits with a hammer, punched out, must collect all of the cards in the pot, etc etc.

Materials: Flash Cards, microphone prop
Select a few kids to stand with you before the rest of the class. Have them choose an animal to represent. Ask each one a question that provides the class with clues as to which animal they are. An exchange with a group who has chosen 'rabbit' might go: 'What colour are you?' 'I'm white.' 'What's your favourite food?' 'I like carrot.' 'Are your ears big or small?' 'Big'
First person to answer correctly gets to be next (if they want to, if not just ask for volunteers). Food and colour FCs will probably prove useful in prompting the interviewees. Also, it's a good idea to make an answer pool for the students trying to guess the animal.

Flashcards to use: Animals
Class size: whole class
Set up: Divide class evenly into 2-5 teams depending on class size. Have them line up at one end of the room. Put the FC at the other end of the room. Have the first member of each team line up down on all fours, like a cat or a dog.
After you call out a card name or make an animal sound the children have to crawl along the ground and touch the correct card. The winner keeps the card for his or her team. Repeat until everyone has had a turn and then declare a winning team. Sub in review cards if there is not enough animal FC.
If you want to play with Nen Sho students let all the children touch the FC after crawling to the other side. Don't have any winners and don't give the cards to any of the teams.

Review cards. Call out a boy and 'shuffle shuffle' the cards until the class calls out 'stop!' Secretly show the one boy only, and get him to draw the animal up on the board. If the class can guess what it is, he scores a point for the boys team. Next call up a girl and repeat. Top tip - cheat horrendously by 'accidentally' showing the class the card when you turn around or scratch your ear or something, that way you can keep things balanced.

Game Explanation: Using the flash cards &/or the whiteboard, demonstrate an ‘evolutionary scale’ to the students, using whatever cards you want to focus on (mouse-dog-horse-elephant, bicycle-car-bus-airplane, etc). All students begin on the lowest stage of the scale (have them perform specific gestures for each stage).
Play some music, clap, or command the students to run/walk around the room. When you yell ‘Stop!’ the students form pairs & play rock-scissors-paper (you may want to get them to practice a simple conversation pattern like ‘Hello, how are you?’ ‘I’m great, thank you’ before they do rsp).
The winner in each pair evolves to the next stage, while the loser stays the same. Make sure the students understand that only members of the same evolutionary stage can battle each other, & repeat. Once students have evolved off the scale (to a supernatural being, perhaps? or a supernatural vehicle/sandwich/item of clothing etc), they’re finished & get to sit down. Continue for as long as it’s fun.
Note: You’ll probably need to enlist the aid of the Japanese teacher to ensure that the students play this game properly, especially with large classes.
