The Rainforest Animal Game The Animal Game is a popular outdoors game, which teaches children about the food chain. This variant is rainforest themed; all the animals are inhabitants of the expansive rainforests in Guyana. Equipment: Large playing field ‘Life’ tags: 9 for herbivores, 3 for carnivores (best if held on a ring) Coloured headbands or armbands Ink pad and stamps/punches/stickers for water, food, shelter Cardboard survival card for each player, big enough for all stamps/punches Rules: 1. Hidden stations are set up, containing stamps/punches for water, food and shelter. 2. Each player is assigned a role in the ecosystem: herbivore, carnivore and disaster. To distinguish between each branch, headbands/armbands of different colours can be distributed. There should be about 70% herbivores, 30% carnivores, with only 1 or 2 disasters. 3. The herbivore’s goal is to collect all the stamps/punches representing food, water and shelter. They can be eaten by carnivores, and killed by the disaster if they are tagged. If they are tagged, they lose a ‘life’, and if they completely run out of ‘lives’ they are out of the game. 4. The carnivore’s goal is to collect as many ‘lives’ as possible by tagging (eating) herbivores. They can be killed by the disaster if they are tagged. If they are tagged, they lose a ‘life’, and if they completely run out of ‘lives’ they are out of the game. 5. The disaster’s goal is to collect as many lives as possible by tagging (eating) herbivores and carnivores. They cannot be taken out of the game. 6. The herbivores are let loose first, the carnivores after 5 minutes and the disaster after 10 minutes. 7. When a player has been caught by its predator, the predator must wait 30 seconds before he may catch the same or another prey. 8. The game ends when all the lives have been exhausted, or after a set period of time. Girl Guides of Canada - Alberta Council - Twinning 2020 To Use This Document: This document contains two supplements to the animal game described in the Guyana Instant Meeting: a set of printable ‘life’ tags (pages 11-16) and a booklet of pictures of all the animals used in the game (pages 3-10). It is set up to be printed double-sided: in Adobe Reader select File Print and in the bottom left select “Print on both sides of paper”. To assemble the ‘life’ tags: 1. Print pages 11-16 double sided. This should result in 3 pages: 2 pages of 26 herbivores with 5 lives each (green), and 1 page of 5 carnivores with 2 lives each (red) and 6 natural disasters (black). 2. Cut out the ‘life’ tags along the lines; remember to keep the tags separated by animal. 3. Cut out cardboard survival cards for each herbivore. 4. Punch holes in the lower left corner of the tags. Note: Note necessary for disasters. 5. String together one animal on a fastener of some kind (eg. Paperclip, key ring, twist tie). For herbivores this should include 5 ‘life’ tags and 1 survival card. For carnivores it should include 2 lives. To assemble the booklet: 1. Print pages 3-10 double sided. This should result in 4 pages: 3 pages of 26 herbivores, and 1 page of 5 carnivores. 2. Staple the pages together or put into a binder.
