 Each student will receive a picture of an animal, which will be taped on their back so they can’t see it. The objective is for each child to guess what their animal is by asking other children yes and no questions about their animal.  For instance, they may ask “is my animal green?” or “Does my animal fly?”  Once all children have guessed their animal, the game is over
