The 14 games of Capybara Wetlands

4 and 5 year olds

More pieces that look alike, asking for attention and memory.

  • 1

    Water, land or both?

    The capybara swims in the river and walks in the fields: she lives in both! Find out where each friend lives.

    Ten frame

    A ten frame has two rows of five. Look at the dots and the empty boxes: you can tell how many there are without counting one by one!

    Warm and cool colors

    Red, orange and yellow remind us of fire and the sun: they're warm colors. Blue, green and purple remind us of water and leaves: they're cool colors.

    Talking circle

    Capybaras love to cuddle up and chat. In the circle, one talks at a time and everyone listens. Choose the right way.

    Stay with the group

    In the wetlands, baby capybaras never wander away from the herd. Field trips are like that too: stay close to the group and the grown-ups.

    Flood or dry season?

    In the Pantanal the year has a flood season, when the river rises and floods the fields, and a dry season, when the water goes down. Listen and find out which season it is.

    Animals of Brazil

    The capybara, the macaw, the sloth and the caiman live in the wild in Brazil. The kangaroo and the giraffe live very far away from there. Find the Brazilian animals!

    Balanced canoe

    When both sides have the same number of capybaras, the canoe stays level. If one side has more, it tips down. Look and find out.

Bigger challenges and the party that reviews everything the child learned.

    Animal table

    In the table, each row is an animal and each column is a food. The check mark shows what each one eats. Read the table and answer.

    How many legs?

    To count legs, we add again and again: four for each capybara, two for each duck or macaw.

    Three little piles

    Putting two little piles together is easy. What about three? Count the first, keep going with the second and finish with the third.

    Wetlands party

    Region party

    The sun set over the river and a flock of birds flew in for the party! Let's remember everything you discovered in the wetlands.

    Lightest to heaviest

    Region party

    The bee is very light, the capybara is pretty heavy and the elephant is really heavy! Line up the animals from lightest to heaviest.
