Which animal would you be?

When I was an intern, my directing teacher did a really cute icebreaker activity. She had a group of animals that she reviewed and discussed with her students. Then she asked, "if you were an animal, which animal would you be?" The students each picked an animal card, colored it and wrote his/her name on it. They took turns explaining which animal they would be and why and then added their card to a graph.

I really liked this activity so I decided to make my own version. I don't plan on using all these animals, I think 18 choices would overwhelm the kids, I just couldn't decide which animals I wanted to use! I also couldn't decide if I wanted to print colored cards (to save time) or allow the kids to color the cards on their own, so I made both! Enjoy! :)

If you decide to download this activity, leave me a message so I know you enjoyed it! :)

    Hi Stephanie. This is a cute ice breaker for Kindergarten! I love Carson Dellosa clip art, and having been looking for a Carson Dellosa clip art CD (I have the book/paper versions). Where did you find your digital CD clip art?

    Thanks Jennifer! The books I bought had a CD in the back that had digital versions of the clip art. :)

    Hi Stephanie,

    Thanks for putting this out there for us to use free of charge. I used page 2 of each animal set and cut them out. Kids taped them to their foreheads and then played the game where you have to figure out what you are by people making the sound of the animal thats on your head ;o) Very fun. Thanks Again!!!
