Episode 107 - Celebrations
Segment #4 - At the Table
Activity - Animal Riddle Place Cards

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL NEED:

• Sturdy cardboard
• Scissors
• Paint, paintbrush
• Marker
• Craft items to embellish animal (fabric, feathers, eyes, etc.)
• Clothespins or clips to create feet for animal to stand upright on table

LET'S GET STARTED:

1. Cut animal shapes from the cardboard, approximately 3 inches by 6 inches. Paint and decorate. Let dry.   Attach clothespins or clips to the bottom of each character to create feet for them to stand upright on the table.
2. Cut a corresponding symbol from cardboard. For example: make a banana for a monkey, a bone for a dog, cheese for a mouse, etc. Paint, and decorate each symbol.
3. On the back of each symbol, write a riddle that gives a clue to the animal it matches. On the back of the banana you might write: "I usually live in the jungle and swing from tree to tree. Curious George is a book that is written about me"!
4. Before the party, set one animal at each place setting on the table. Put all of the symbols into a basket by the front door.
5. As guests arrive, invite them to choose a symbol.   When they come to the table, they should read the riddle for a clue to finding their place at the table.
