Birds in Winter

A tree with a bird feeder stands in a snowy garden, and there are four games to choose from. In Meet the birds, a sparrow, a great tit, a woodpecker, a blackbird and a dove land on the tree. When tapped, a bird grows bigger and shows how we can recognise it. Then the children find the right bird from a detail in the magnifying glass. In More, fewer, same they compare which branch has more or fewer birds (9 rounds). In What birds eat they prepare five kinds of food: tap seeds out of a sunflower, rub grains out of wheat ears, crack walnuts, cut an apple and dry grapes. In Build a bird feeder they trace the parts of the feeder on a plan, put it together and fill it with seeds, and the birds fly in.

The game uses no spoken words. Icons and a pointing hand show what to do.
