Use this activity as
an alternative to
Halloween
celebrations to
redeem the
occasion for God!

Dress Up / Costumes
1. Animals. Assigning animals
prevents an abundance of lions or
elephants and no giraffes. Each two
participants should receive a name of
an animal. You might also include
simple directions on how to create a
costume for each animal that is
assigned. Costumes can be simple or
elaborate, home-made or store bought
or rented. Masks can be created but
it’s often easier to paint faces to
compliment the animal costume. You
can easily make ears, tails, and noses.
Paint details, whiskers, spots etc. Each
guest assumes the role of the animal
assigned, acting and talking like that
animal.

2. Noah. Find a few stuffed
animals to keep with him. (two of
one kind!) Small beanie babies
size animals sticking out of his
pockets would work. You could
also make a big rainbow out of
cardboard and paint and make a
cutout for a handle for him to
carry.

Games
1. Feed the Lion - Draw a Lion on a
cardboard box and cut out the
mouth of the lion. The mouth should
be large enough to easily toss a small
beanbag through the opening. Color
the Lion. The participants must
tossed the bean bags into the mouth
of the lion to win a prize. A great
source for pictures of a lion is
coloring books. If you have an OHP
available, copy the cartoon to an
OHP cell, project it onto the
cardboard, and simply draw the lines
that are projected. Tempra Paints are
great for coloring it and filling in the
details!

2. Pin the tail on the Animals -
Choose an animal to draw. As already
mentioned, you can use coloring
books if you need a something to
follow. Use a piece of yarn for a tail
and play the same as “Pin the Tail on
the Donkey”. (i.e. Put on a blindfold
and spin around and around and
around. Then take the tail and try to
stick it to the animal in the correct
position. How close will you come to
the correct spot on the donkey?)
Another possible variation could be
to “pin the nose” on an animal. For
variety, have several animals from
which children can choose.

3. Animal Tag - Have the group
form a circle sitting in chairs.
Everyone chooses an animal name
for themselves (dog, rhino, hippo,
monkey, etc.) Fitting the Noah
Theme there should be two of each
animal. One person stands in the
middle as the “Noah” with a rolled
up newspaper. The game begins
with one person calling out the one
of the animal names in the circle.
The two animals must change places
before “Noah” can grab a seat. Call
out “flood” and everyone must
change chairs.

4. Two by Two - All the girls stand in a
circle. Then all guys form a circle around
them. Make adjustments so that the
inner and outer circles contain an equal
number of people. Each guy should be
facing a girl partner. Each guy / girl
couple takes on the name of an animal.
They must remember their partner. The
girls begin walking clockwise while the
guys walk counterclockwise. A leader
then interrupts by calling out “two-by-two”
At that moment, both circles stop
and couples must find their partner. The
guy must get down on one knee with
the other knee extended so that the girl
may sit on his knee. The slowest couple
to assume the designated position is
eliminated.

5. Monkeys Bowling - Set up 10 pins
(You can make them using empty 2 liter
plastic soda bottles. Fill with a little
water or sand for stability, but don’t
make them too heavy) For added fun,
put a drawing of a yellow banana on
the pins. Grab a small coconut or
simply a small ball for the bowling ball.
Children are awarded prizes based on
the number of bananas they bowl over.
6. Follow the Leader - For younger
kids this is a lot of fun. Play “follow the
leader” and go through all types of
animal motions and sounds. Award
prizes for the best sounds, best
portrayal of an animal.

7. Animal Sounds - As everyone
arrives, assign the names of
animals to various persons in the
room making sure that the
animals assigned are scattered
around the room. Then shut out
the lights and have the teens
make the animal sound assigned
to them. They must then mingle
around the room (in the dark)
listening for the other animals of
their kind. The first group to find
each other wins.

8. Animal Relay Races - Have relay
races with animal actions and sounds:
“walk like a duck”; “hop like a
kangaroo”; “laugh like a hyena”;
“slither like a snake”, “swim like a fish”,
“walk like a crab”, etc.
9. Two-by-two Pair-up - Each
person should receive a card with an
animal on it, and either a sound (moo,
oink, meow) that they have to do, or a
motion (laughing for a hyena, hopping
for a kangaroo, etc.) and they have to
make their sound/motion and find the
other person doing the same thing
(two by two).

10. Animal Trivia - Make a list of
trivia questions about little know
facts for various animals.
11. Best Costume - Give prizes
for the best costumes. Prizes can
be linked with certain animals. Like
hairbrushes for a beautiful Lion’s
mane, or neckties for giraffes,
maybe spot remover for leopards,
or luggage straps for elephants.
Use your imagination.
