What do we want to achieve regarding primary skill development (student understanding and/or behaviour)?

After this game, students should be able to:

  • Explain why biodiversity makes nature stronger (different living beings = balance and resilience).
  • Give at least one example of how two living beings can both compete and still need each other (shared habitat, food chain, shelter, balance).
  • Show more respectful language about animals, habitats, and nature (“They have a role,” “They belong here”).
  • Recognize that human diversity (different strengths, cultures, needs) is valuable and supports community well-being.
  • Demonstrate coexistence behaviours during play: fair swaps, kind tone, no blaming, and responsibility for the shared space.
  • Use critical thinking when uncertain: “What do I know? What do I not know? What is my best decision right now?”
