Plant quartet (Happy families)

This game can be used to help children reinforce their understanding of the requirements for successful growth of plants. It also provides a way of helping children to become familiar with some common wild flowers and their names. The children have the opportunity to use scientific vocabulary. Cross-curricular links to literacy could be made with the children writing their own instructions on how to play the game.

There is an opportunity to add a level of challenge to the game by adding features of the plant shown in the photo. For example: petals, sepals, stem, leaves etc.
