Name That Cat!

Printer Friendly

Preparation:

Find pictures of famous cats the children will know from books, movies and cartoons. Good places to find pictures are on book covers and in coloring books; or download pictures from bookstore, movie or TV websites. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• The Cat in the Hat
• Hello Kitty
• Garfield
• Sylvester
• The Cheshire Cat
• The Aristocats
• Puss in Boots
• Azrael (from The Smurfs)
• Tony the Tiger
• Mittens (from Bolt)
• The Pink Panther
• Tom from Tom and Jerry
• Mufasa (from The Lion King)
• Crookshanks (from Harry Potter)
• Hobbes (from Calvin and Hobbes)
• Figaro (from Pinocchio)
• Tigger

You may also want to include pictures of big cats such as a lion, tiger, cheetah, leopard, or mountain lion/cougar/panther. Include only the cats your guests are likely to recognize.


At the party:

1. Show pictures of the cats, and let your guests take turns identifying them.


2. You may want to divide the children into two teams and let them compete against each other.


3. Having teams may also help them to identify more of the pictures.
