Creatures of the Deep<\/h1>\n

Description<\/h2>\n

Everyone stands in a circle.<\/p>\n

The teacher imitates a of a creature of the deep to the person next to them. For instance they do an impression of a jellyfish.<\/p>\n

That person next to them copies what they just saw and passes it on to the person next to them. They then pass it on to the person next to them. It will gradually change as it goes around, and will go round the circle again and again.<\/p>\n

The teacher or others adds in new creatures, so lots are going around the circle at once.<\/p>\n
