Hawk eats frog <\/em>is a game designed to allow children to discover the basic concepts that regulate how a food chain works, stimulating curiosity about the biodiversity of lake environments<\/strong> which are often threatened by human actions.
\nWhen playing Hawk eats frog<\/em>, you will have to create food chains to score as many points as possible, making sure to match the plant and animal cards together in the right “food chain” sequence that connects them: therefore hawk eats frog, but frog does not eat hawk!
\nWarning: pollution prevents food chains from functioning and interrupts them!<\/p>\n

The game is intended for 2-5 players aged 7 years and up. Each game lasts for approximately 15-20 minutes. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Materials<\/p>\n

The game is made up of 60 triangular cards, to be placed side by side while respecting the order of the food chain. Each colour represents a different role in the food chain, that is, as scientists would say, a different “trophic level”:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
