Game Instructions
1. Put hands together and move them back and forth like a fish swimming.
2. Put one hand on top of your head to mime the crest on the head of a cockatoo.
3. Hug yourself.
4. Put your hands in front of you with fingertips pointing down, arms bent at the elbow to look like a kangaroo's little hands and jump (if you're standing).
