Who this list is for
This coral reef food web game supply list is for a group science activity about how reef organisms connect through food-web roles. It is designed for students who need to see relationships between producers, consumers, sun, water, and reef rather than make marine animal crafts.
How to use this list
Place the large floor labels for sun, water, and reef first. Give students coral reef organism picture cards, producer and consumer role cards, and name tag labels. Use clothespins and red yarn to create visible connections as students respond to food web prompt cards. Clipboards and pencils help small groups note their choices before adding a yarn link.
Common mistakes
Do not use the yarn to suggest every organism connects to every other organism. Keep role cards visible so students can check producer and consumer relationships as they play. Cut yarn to manageable lengths and keep the floor area clear of loose strands.
What is on this list
The supplies include organism picture cards, producer and consumer role cards, red yarn, clothespins, name labels, sun-water-reef floor labels, cardstock, a hole punch, scissors, fine-tip markers, prompt cards, clipboards, and pencils. Cross off items already in your classroom.
Before you go
Count participants before preparing name labels and cardstock. Check that the floor labels are large enough to read during a standing activity. Keep the yarn and clothespins at a central station so connections can be added in an orderly way.
