Jungle Fruit and Seed Finder Board
by Eric Gonzalez-Payne

The same fruit and seed content as the basket work, turned into a board with spaces and cards.
We built this because the basket version had run its course with a group who had done it all year and needed the content to feel new. It did the job. Same knowledge, different container, and the competitive element sustained attention for a full session.
The game is cooperative rather than competitive, which at four avoids the losing tantrum entirely.
The page has the board, the cards, and the rules, which take about ninety seconds to explain. It also has the two rule variations we use for older and younger children in a mixed group, since one board serving two ability levels is usually the practical reality.
