Zoo Party Games
Catch the Elephants Tail - This is a fun tag game for when you are outside or have plenty of space to run. Guests will line up and hold hands. They can not let go of each other's hands for any reason. The first person in line (the head) tries to tag the last person in line (the Elephant's tail). When the first person has tagged the "elephant's tail" then the "tail" comes to the front of the line and becomes the "tagger". Continue until everyone has had a chance to catch the elephant's tail.
Giraffe, Giraffe, Elephant - Played like duck, duck, goose only the kids hold a stuffed elephant and say "giraffe, giraffe, elephant as they walk around the kids.
Feeding Time - Players try and toss peanuts (the kind that still has the shell) into buckets. Place two buckets 15 - 20 feet from the teams. Kids have to take a peanut and try to toss it into the bucket. Set a time limit and then count how many peanuts each team has in their bucket.
