Information for Teachers and Parents



Gníomhaí Sníomhaí

This game is about identifying and classifying living things using a scientific key. The player uses yes/no answers to a range of questions to find out about a group of rainforest creepy-crawlies. Once the mini-beasts have been tracked down and identified, the player is asked to sort them into groups. This section of the game gets the player thinking about the different families that living things belong to.

If you would like to get involved with what your child is learning, the following questions and activities may help stimulate discussion:

Go on a minibeast hunt! Get outside together and sketch the things you find. Ask your child to make their own key using the living things they've found.
