Nesting Bird Game

This is a fun game where participants explore habitat and nesting bird sites with regard to invasive species. Specifically, it addresses the competition between native birds and invasive bird species when it comes to habitat resources and predators.

This is a fun, up-and-moving activity. I loved watching it in action, and I am so glad it made its way onto the website so super fast. WHen you play make sure you have room to move and are in a space with hiding spots. Be ready for the hilarious antics of the native bluebirds!!!

Can't wait to try this out. I'm especially excited about the "conversation questions" you listed at the end. So valuable to know how to talk about this, debrief, and help students make sense of the game!

Post more!
