 Bad Monkey
Objective: Students use movement and pantomime to combine portraying animal characters
and performing everyday tasks.

How to Play!
Print out the next two pages on different colors. Introduce this game as “impossible
pantomime.” Each student will have to act out an animal doing an activity such as: an elephant
washing the windows. Tell kids, “It is impossible to perform this and impossible to guess. Who
wants to go first?!”
