Name the Animal for Thanksgiving Games

Video Transcript

"Hello, I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to tell you all about Thanksgiving games and activities. The next game is basically called, bird, bird, fish, dog, animal. What it's basically, what you are doing is that you are sitting around in a circle first off. You can have as few as three players, usually it's nice to have five or six. But, you can get away with three. So you are going to be sitting around in a circle, and you are sitting around the leader. What the leader basically does is he will randomly point at somebody and basically say "bird". And when he says bird, or he or she says bird, then you have to respond with a type of bird, Bald Eagle, Sparrow, Starling. And you have to answer really fast. Usually the leader will either count to five or count to ten by which time you have to have provided the answer. Here is where it gets tricky. What's so hard about that? After you go through a couple of rounds you can't say the same thing twice. So, if the leader looks at you and says "Fish" and you say "shark" and somebody else has already said shark, you are out. If you fail to answer, you're out. If you say they repeat an animal, you're out. Basically this continues, you keep going through the round until the last person is left and that last person is the winner and they will become the new leader for the next round of the game."
