Another stunt may be played with little sugar animals. They should be wrapped in red WP"

and each child permitted to draw - one. Each child then unwraps his wuiimal. without letting hi5 coni- panions see. vrlhat it is, and tlicn proceeds to act. the part 0f his = animal. A prize should bu‘ EFWH to tho child who best lIIIlLALKS 111-8 animal and to the one with the most correct guesses. 4
