Educational Games

Our Respect Life Range focuses on a few species that are currently facing threats to their survival, due to human impact. Currently we have two board games, two activity books and two ‘seek-and-find’ puzzles. Each of these comes with information about the animal and gives some ways in which one can make a difference.

Western Leopard Toad Board Game – Players need to help the toad to reach its breeding ground. It is faced with many dangers on the way, which result in a missed turn or two

Solitary Bee Board Game – In order to pollinate the locally indigenous flora, solitary bees are often subjected to many health impacts that can affect them and the effectiveness of the jobs that they do

Nalu and Rocky Activity Books – Meet Rocky the rock hyrax (dassie) and Nalu the African pygmy seahorse. These two characters take children through 21 pages of activities (in each book), such as wordsearches, colouring-in pages and ID guides

African Penguin and Cape Chacma Baboon Puzzles – Children can build these puzzles and then use them as a learning tool when they try to spot different activities that are happening in the finished pictures

An educational graphic titled 'Can you spot...' featuring a cartoon illustration of two houses and a baboon. The activity asks users to identify: a fruit tree attractant, a secured vegetable garden, a dog that is able to harm a baboon, a bowl of fruit in a window, a closed window, an open window, a dog that is not able to harm a baboon, a baboon-proofed bin, and an overflowing bin. The graphic includes the 'Chacma Champions' and 'Guardians of the Deep' logos, along with the text 'Respect Life'.
An educational worksheet titled 'Can you spot...' featuring a central illustration of an African penguin asking, 'How can you stop me from becoming extinct?' The border displays various environmental items to identify in the central ocean scene, including: a natural predator, TMNP Marine Unit patrol, a man-made nest, someone getting too close to the penguins, an oil spill, an effect of climate change, the Chick Bolstering Project, loss of natural habitat, an invasive predator (domestic cat), overfishing, an oil spill clean-up effort, and a penguin release. The graphic also includes the 'Marine Watch' and 'Guardians of the Deep' logos, and the text 'Respect Life'.
An educational circular board game graphic titled 'Guardians of the Deep,' featuring a path numbered 1 through 21. The game includes illustrated spaces with environmental challenges and lessons, such as 'Watch out for the pesticides! Miss a turn,' 'Go back 2 spaces,' 'Oh no! It's a European paper wasp!', 'Beware of the man-made bee hive,' 'Look out for the honey-based beauty products,' 'Be careful of the alien plant species,' and 'Miss a turn.' The centre features illustrations of a bee, a wasp, and a flower.
An educational board game worksheet featuring a pathway of lily pads numbered 1 through 15, themed around saving the Western Leopard Toad. The game includes several illustrated educational spaces: space 5 warns, 'Watch out for the car as you cross the road! Go back 2 spaces'; space 9 features a construction excavator with the text 'You need to find a new home'; space 11 shows a spray bottle with the message 'You fall ill from the pesticides'; and space 14 features a road sign for 'Leopard Toad Crossing' with the message, 'You are able to cross the road safely! Hop right to the END!'. The board starts with an illustration of a Western Leopard Toad.
