The Chase - Habitats

The educational resource 'The Chase - Habitats' is a creative and interactive game designed for Year 2 students to enhance their knowledge of animals and their habitats. In this game, students are prompted to answer a series of questions related to various animal characteristics and living environments. For instance, they are asked to name two animals that reside underground and one animal that hibernates during the winter. They must also identify three animals that are not found in the wild in Britain, two carnivorous animals, and three animals that have fur. Additionally, the game challenges students to list five types of birds, two herbivorous animals, two animals native to the wild in Africa, and another animal that hibernates. Finally, they need to name two animals that dwell in trees.

The Chase - Habitats game is structured to encourage competition and learning simultaneously. Players take turns to provide answers, starting from opposite ends of the game board. A correct answer allows the player to advance to the next space, while an incorrect response grants them another attempt. The first player to reach the middle of the board earns ten points. This engaging format not only tests the students' recall of animal facts but also prompts them to consider why animals choose the habitats they do, stimulating critical thinking about animal behaviour and environmental adaptation. The game is a dynamic way for young learners to become animal champions through play.
