Who this list is for
Children exploring why animals migrate and what can interrupt a route can use this animal migration game supply list. The activity uses a world map, animal tokens, and route obstacles instead of asking students to run long distances.
How to use this list
Lay out the large world map floor mat and add blue fabric strips as water barriers, paper cones as route obstacles, and habitat destination signs at endpoints. Students draw animal migration route cards, season cards, and migration obstacle cards, then move animal tokens with dice. Use clipboards, migration log sheets, and pencils to record route decisions; stopwatches can keep turns moving.
Common mistakes
Do not treat every animal’s migration route as identical or make students race across the room. Keep tokens on the map rather than scattering them around the classroom. Place obstacles where they can be seen clearly and use masking tape to secure map edges or fabric strips.

Before you go
