PROCEDURE : Teacher puts one small animal picture next to each obstacle. In each case the animal should have the ability to get past the obstacle for example ; if the obstacle is a river use a card of big fish or an animal like that, if it is a ravine we can use a card of eagle. In turn the children roll the dice and move their counters along the track. When a child reaches an obstacle he or she must stop and wait. When it’s the child’s next turn he or she says for example here is a ravine then teacher asks can you fly? The child replies no i can’t but an eagle can fly  the child then puts his or her counter on the eagle card which flies over the obstacle. The eagle then flies back to its original position, to help any other children over the ravine. The children move their counters around the jungle in this way. The first child to reach the finish wins the game.
