This is a game called Monkeys Fly, which can be played in a classroom on a rainy day. Let one person be IT. The others all stand. IT stands before them, says "Birds fly," and throws up his arms as if he were flying. Then he says "Owls fly," and throws up his arms in the same way. The other players are to throw up their arms also. IT mentions several fowls that fly, and then he suddenly says "Monkeys fly," and throws up his arms. Everyone who then throws up his arms must sit down. IT starts again, and after mentioning several other fowls he may suddenly say "Pigs fly." Those who lift their arms this time must sit down. Several animals may be said to fly but players like to mention monkeys most frequently. The last one to sit down may be IT for the next game.
