Guessing Games at the Zoo

Today I went to the zoo with my family. We had a lot of fun playing guessing games. We had to guess which animal was behind each closed door. It was really exciting to see them all and try to guess which one was behind each door. We also played a guessing game with the animals themselves, trying to guess what they were thinking or doing. It was amazing to see how they would react to our guesses and try to communicate with us. I really enjoyed this experience and hope to do it again soon.
