Wildlife is all around us. Whether you're exploring the park or taking a walk around your neighborhood, you can see and hear many different types of animals. While some animals are elusive and prefer to hide from people, there are others that you can see and hear. Is it a bird or a mammal? For each one you observe, mark a spot on the board to try and win Tic Tac Toe! Here's how to play:
1. Take a walk or a hike with your family or friends. Look for birds and animals along your way. Place an ‘X’ when you see or hear a bird and an ‘O’ when you see or hear a mammal.
2. Whoever gets three in a row first wins! This game can be played by two people or a single player.
Did you see or hear more birds or mammals during your walk? Which one was your favorite?
