Bring the wild kingdom indoors (or out!) with this energetic and imaginative game. Animal Impressions encourages children to pick or be assigned an animal, then act out how it moves and sounds. They can take turns guessing each other’s animals, race across the room, or even interact in character—just imagine a gorilla meeting a flamingo!

This game promotes physical play, creativity, and social interaction while also burning off extra energy. For extra fun, kids can create simple animal face masks beforehand using paper plates or cardboard.

Whether you’re looking for a quick burst of silliness or a full-on pretend play session, this one’s guaranteed to get laughs.
