| + | Designate parts of the play area as different types of habitat (plains, farm, forest, lake, etc.) Name an animal, and have the kids run to the part of the play area that they think that animal lives in. Get the kids thinking about how some animals can be found in more than one habitat so not all of them may run to the same place every time. You can add an additional element by having the kids do a specific movement as they go to each habitat, or by having them move like the animal that you call out. | ||

| This game takes up a little bit more space and has smaller pieces, so it's best to play at a table, but it's a great game for practicing deductive reasoning. It's a 4 player game, but you can easily play with more by using extra player tokens. It's a cooperative rather than a competitive game, which can also promote teamwork and working together. | This game takes up a little bit more space and has smaller pieces, so it's best to play at a table, but it's a great game for practicing deductive reasoning.
