How to Play Habitat Adventure Help put the animals back in their correct habitat and learn about 8 major Biomes and some amazing animals at the same time. Youll need: 4 game piece (mini stamps, dice, small figures, etc.), a dice, printed game board, printed playing cards

Pass out 5 cards per person (they can be face up)

Put game pieces on any one of the 4 Draw 2 crates on the board (each pick where they want to start)

First player rolls dice and moves clockwise. The next player goes. When someone has put back all their animals the game is over. The person who helped the most animals wins. Star You can put back any ONE of your

animals if that is their biome (just turn them over until the end of the game)

Draw 2 Pick up 2 more cards with animals you get to help put back in their biome.

Jeep Stop and put an animal back if it is their correct biome, then roll again and take your next turn.

Compass You can jump to anywhere on the board you want to land.

Map take the bridge road (you can drop off an animal in the Mountain AND Coniferous Forest)

Body of salt water that makes up 72% of our planet. There are 5 Oceans- Atlantic, Pacific, Indian, Southern, and Arctic. The deepest point in the ocean is Mariana Trench which is about 36,000 feet under water.

Desert An area where little life exists because of the lack of water. 1/5th of Earths land is desert. Desert is on every continent except Europe. In Antarctica the desert is cold.

Grassland Inland biome made up of vast grassy fields. It receives little rain so few trees can grow. Warm, dry climate perfect for growing food. Known in the US as prairies, in Africa as Savannahs, and South America as Pampas.

Coniferous

Forest Consists mainly of cone bearing trees that are well suited to cold climates. It supplies the bulk of the worlds soft timber which is used to make paper. It stretches south of the Arctic Tundra from Alaska to North America to the Atlantic Ocean and Eurasia.

Forested area receiving 70+ of precipitation a year (rain or snow) includes Temperate (100+ precipitation a

year)

Tropical hot, 400+ precipitation a year, & close to the equator with more species of plants and animal than anywhere else.

Many plants used in medicine are found here. There are three levels canopy, understory, and forest floor. Rainforest are endangered due to deforestation.

Mountains Very cold and windy with high elevations usually found in groups called chains (or ranges) The higher the mountain, the colder and windier it is. Youll find rugged landscape and less oxygen.

Cold, treeless area of low plains in the north around the Arctic Ocean. It includes northern areas of Europe, Asia, North America, Greenland and the Tundra (at top of mountains).

Deciduous

Forest

Deciduous trees lose their leaves in the fall. The natural decay of those leaves enriches the soil and supports the lively plant and animal life. Mild temperature zone of the Northern Hemisphere from North America, Europe, and eastern Asia.

- salt water covering 72% of world

Desert- little life because of lack of water; 1/5th

or our land Grassland- inland filled with vast grasses Mountains- very cold & windy with high elevation & rugged landscape.

- hot

area receiving 70 a year of rain with more plants & animals than any other biome.

Coniferous Forest - mainly cone

bearing trees suited to cold climates. - very cold &

treeless are of low plains north by the Arctic Ocean. Deciduous Forest - mild
