Animals Card Game

This card game is a loud version of war simple enough for little kids, yet rowdy enough to entertain the oldest.

What You Need
  • Deck of cards
Instructions
  1. Each player chooses an animal name to play under. The longer the name, the better (think hippopotamus, rhinoceros and so on). The cards are all dealt and placed facedown in piles in front of each player.

  2. Players go around the table turning over their top card and placing it faceup in their own discard pile. When a player turns up a card that matches one on another pile, the two pile owners race to say each other's animal name three times. The first to do so gets the other's discard pile. Play continues until someone has won all the cards.

Variations:
Players make the animal's sound instead of calling its name.
