Activity:
Monkey See, Monkey Do…Everything I do, You Do Too Activity!
This is a game for 3 or more players. But the more players you have, the more funny and exciting it is to play!
Here’s how to play the game:One player is the guesser, one is the monkey and the rest follow the monkey.
Decide which player will be the guesser. That player leaves the room.
Have the guesser leave the room. The remaining players then decide who will be the monkey.
The other players have to do whatever the monkey does. If she scratches her head, the rest of the players have to scratch their heads. The guesser tries to figure out who is the monkey. The monkey should try not to get caught changing the action. If the monkey gets caught, then she becomes the next guesser.
