6 or more players, aged 5 to 12 played indoors and outdoors.

The players are seated on chairs in a circle. Each is given an animals or birds name. The zoo keeper walks in the outside of the circle and tells a story about the zoo. When the animal name of a player is mentioned in the story, that player must get up and follow the zookeeper. Soon a great line of players forms in this way, and each holds the waist of that player in front of him.

When all players are in line, the zookeeper tells them to become their animals, and they all imitate which animal they are supposed to be (eg: a bird, elephant etc.) After a while the zookeeper rushes to get a chair.
The players who is left out becomes the zookeeper and the game starts all over again. Players are encouraged to change their identities.
