Purpose of activity:  To learn about rumination

Description of activity:  This is a good group game.  It can accommodate any number of players, and can work as a team game.  It gives lots of high-content information about rumination and dairy science, as well as a legitimate venue for being a little silly within proper limits (e.g. Bovine Theater).  

Target age group:  ages 8-12

Time needed to play:  If you are playing with a large group, it will take longer.  Allow at least 45 minutes; an hour is better.

Materials needed: Copies of the pattern pages printed onto card stock, scissors, a very small lump of clay or play dough.
