Explore God’s World Game

Here’s a game that involves 4 players. (If you want to provide for 8 players, double the materials suggested below or let the kids play 2 per team.)

Preparation: You will need four paper plates showing one of these four natural habitats: a tree, a pond, a field, and an ocean. If you draw the pictures, distinguish a pond from an ocean by drawing trees around the pond and sea shells near the ocean.

If you want, you may find four small pictures in magazines, etc. to match each habitat. Mark off each plate into four pie-shaped sections and glue one picture in each section. Cover the plates with adhesive-backed vinyl to make sturdy game pieces.

You will also need 16 picture cards. Your children can help make these. Find 16 pictures of animals such as those suggested below. As you can see, you need to have animals to match each habitat you have on the plate.
A tree is the habitat of raccoons, squirrels, robins, or woodpeckers. A pond is the habitat of turtles, frogs, worms, and small fish. A field is the habitat of mice, butterflies, caterpillars, deer and rabbits. The ocean is the habitat of large fish, crustaceans, stingrays, whales, and dolphins.

Have the children glue the pictures on the cards. You may also want to cover the cards with protective vinyl.

Playing: Four players may each pick a paper plate. Place the 16 picture cards facedown on the table. One child at a time picks a card. If the animal card fits one of the habitats on their plate, the child places it on their habitat. If not, the child returns the card to the pile facedown. Play until all the children get four cards on their plates. Stress God’s love and care in creating wonderful homes that are just right for the animals and for us.
