Resource type: Game
A printable Board Game created by Bev Evans of communication4all that accompanies the book Dear Zoo.
Players move around the board. Every time they land on a new animal they pick up a tick card to place over that animal on their board. There are 3 chances to collect every animal. If they do not fill their board when they get to the home turn they must go around again, but there are shortcuts home if they complete their card and land on the appropriate space. Winner is the first player home that has collected all the animals
