An adult starts by saying ‘moo-moo’ and ‘oink-oink’ in different tones, and the children copy them. Then each child decides whether they want to say ‘moo-moo’ or ‘oink-oink’. When the adult gives the signal, the children walk around saying the sound they have chosen. The aim is to find the others who ‘belong’ to the same family, whether it’s the moo-moo family or the oink-oink family. In the end, we’re left with a line of the moo-moo family and a line of the oink-oink family.
