Beginners (6-7 years old): The game is played in smaller groups with 6–8 stations. Use picture clues, arrows, and very concrete tasks, e.g., “Find a leaf!”, “Find shade!”, “Find something rough!”. Children explore nature and teammates in a safe, guided environment while practicing teamwork. They notice small details, ask questions, and experience wonder at their discoveries. The goal is to observe how their own movements and choices affect the team and the natural environment.
Advanced learners (8-9 years old): The game includes 8–10 stations, with simple riddles and observation challenges, e.g., “Find two different leaf shapes.” Teams work more independently, coordinating movements and decisions, reflecting on each other’s ideas, and experimenting with multiple solutions. Children actively observe how choices influence outcomes, test different strategies, and strengthen curiosity, sense of wonder, and openness toward nature and their peers.
Experts (9–10 years old): A larger number of stations, logic steps, and decision points are introduced, e.g., “Two possible locations – use the clue to decide!”, along with mini “trade-off” tasks, e.g., “Which choice protects nature more?” Teams face multiple challenges simultaneously, balancing the value of nature and teamwork while independently shaping strategies. Children continuously test hypotheses, notice unexpected outcomes, experiment with new solutions, and intensively develop curiosity, sense of wonder, openness, and responsibility toward nature and their peers.
