Free Primary Teacher Resources, British Birds
Safari Pals games are designed to encourage an interest in wildlife through game-play. To assist their use in primary schools and home-tutoring we have prepared a series of lesson plans and exercises for use with the British Birds cards.
Naturally the players will want to win the game but by focusing on that, without realising it, they will be learning: numbers; adjectives; weights; word grouping; identification; sizes; strategy; logic and more.
