EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
- To discover and learn to appreciate the wonders of nature.
- To help engender an environmental conscience and respect for the natural world.
- To develop attention skills.

- To improve visual-spatial intelligence.
SYSTEM OF PLAY
The cards are reversible and allow two types of play:
- CLASSIC DOMINO
- DOMINO WITH IMAGES
With this game, before starting, the players should familiarize themselves with thicons on the cards so they know how to make the associations:
| Waterfalls
---|---
| Fossils
| Flowers
| Corals
| Glaciers and icebergs
| Trees
| Volcanoes
Once you have decided on which game to play:
- Shuffle all the cards and deal them out to the players (maximum of 7 cards per player). If there are cards left over, put them in a pile face down on the table.
- In the classic domino game, the player with the highest double number card starts play. In the domino with images game, the youngest player with a double card starts play (i.e. the same icon on both parts of the card).
- In each turn, the players have to put down one of their cards so that one end matches one of the ends of the card already placed on the table. If the player has no matching card, they take one from the pile until they can place one. If there are no cards left in the pile, the turn passes to the next player.
- The winner is the first player to use up all their cards.
- If the game cannot continue, the winner is the player with the fewest cards. If there is a tie, the winner/s will be the player/s who matched using the lowest number of cards.
- The winner or winners collect a star so they can keep track of the number of games won.
