Office Break Games

Guessing games

Animal pairs

Everyone gets a secret animal and finds their twin using only noises and movements. Nobody can stay dignified, which is the point.

Players
8–30, an even number
Time
5–10 min

What you need

  • Slips with animal names, each animal twice

How to play

  1. Hand out the slips face down; everyone reads theirs in secret.
  2. No talking: make your animal’s sound or move like it.
  3. Find the other person who is the same animal and stand together.
  4. The last pair to find each other starts the next round.

Office tip: An easy way to split a big group into random pairs for whatever comes next.
