Debriefing and reflection questions

  • If this animal could talk, what would it ask for: clean water, safe home, or food?
  • What might happen to the forest/river if this animal disappeared?
  • Is this animal a “small” part… or an important part of the whole system?
  • Does nature work better with one kind of animal, or many different kinds?
  • When habitats change, who else is affected?
  • What is one way humans could help this habitat today? (one quick idea)
  • Where did you see competition in the game? Where did you see interdependence?
  • What did you learn about biodiversity from the animal cards?
  • Why might a habitat become weaker if it loses one kind of living being?
  • How are people like biodiversity—why do we need different strengths and differences?
  • How did you act when something felt unfair (like a swap)? What helped you stay kind?
  • What is one way humans can coexist with nature instead of harming it?
  • What is one small action you will take this week to show respect for nature?
