Begin by choosing a leader. The leader starts the game by saying, "I am thinking of an animal, which I will describe. I will give a bean to the first child who guesses its name. But you are only allowed one guess." The leader then describes some features of the animal, such as: "This animal walks on four feet, has a short tail and eats plants." One child might guess "a goat," for example. If she's wrong, she is disqualified. The leader then adds something else, like "Its grey." A child might guess "a hippopotamus." If the guess is correct, the guesser gets a bean and becomes the leader. But if it is wrong, the guesser is disqualified. The leader should continue to add more clues, one at a time. The more clues given, the easier the guessing gets. "It has a trunk," adds the leader. Several children might then shout "elephant!" The one who says the right answer first gets a bean. You can play as many rounds as you like, each with the leader choosing a new animal. Whoever has the most beans at the end of the game is the winner.
