- Tablón de madera o similar en el que vamos a pintar un ecosistema agroestepario: es importante que pintemos distintos espacios o franjas y que incluyamos cajas nido y refugios. Podéis ver el ejemplo en la imagen de abajo.
- Foto real de animales esteparios (con nombre de la especie detrás) y dibujo de cada especie elegida. Nosotros hemos utilizado 12 especies, que podéis encontrar pinchando aquí.
- La foto de cada animal se situará en cada franja del tablero. Por ejemplo la comadreja en el refugio, la lechuza en su caja nido, el aguilucho en el cielo volando o la avutarda en el suelo.
- Los dibujo se colocará en una tapa de un bote de cristal o similar, que van a ser la fichas que vamos a lanzar.
Today we would like to share with you one of the games we created for this project that has worked best with groups of different ages. It has worked so well that we have decided to build it in a more permanent way, in order to incorporate it as a part of our educational programme resources at the GREFA Naturaleza Viva centre.
Materials and preparation:
- Wooden board or similar on which to paint an agro-steppe ecosystem: it is important that we paint different areas or strips and that we include nest boxes and shelters. You can see an example in the picture below.
- A real photo of steppe animals (with the name of the species on the back) and a drawing of each species chosen. We have used 12 species, which you can find by clicking here.
- The photo of each animal is placed on each strip of the board. For example, the weasel in the shelter, the owl in its nest box, the harrier flying in the sky or the bustard on the ground.
- The drawings will be placed on the lid of a glass jar or similar, which will be the counters that we are going to throw.
How to play: by points, by teams or by throws… The aim is to slide the lids from one end of the board to the other until they are in the right place (so that the photo and the drawing are of the same species), saying the name of the species before you throw. You get a point if you say the name of the species correctly and if you also hit the corresponding zone (if it touches the area it will be enough).
