This fast paced activity is great for demonstrating ecosystem basics and what it takes to maintain the ecosystem. Small balls are used to represent the abiotic components of the ecosystem such as nutrients, water, sunlight, carbon dioxide.

This activity is great for participants to better understand why it is important for prey animals to be camouflaged within the habitat they live both by keeping still and their colouration. 

This activity is great for developing observation skills and seeing that the forest is not homogeneous in colour. It helps to see the diversity and variation that will help in identifying different species. Participants are given paint chips and challenged to find the matching colour in the forest environment. 

Turning observation into action reinforces learning. This a simple game mimics charades and allows students to display animal behaviour that they have observed by acting it out in a team setting. It is fun and educational.
