The 14 games of Sloth Rainforest
2 and 3 year olds
To get started: few options, big pictures and the teacher’s voice.

I can do it myself
The sloth does lots of things by herself, nice and slow. You can too! But some things only with a grown-up nearby.
4 and 5 year olds
More pieces that look alike, asking for attention and memory.
- 3
What comes from trees?
Trees give us fruit, and wood becomes tables, chairs and even the paper in your books! Find everything that comes from them.
- 4
Ice, water or steam?
Water changes form: in the cold it turns to ice, in strong heat it becomes steam that rises into the air, and ice in the sun turns back into water.
- 5
Guess the number
The sloth thought of a number and will give you clues. Listen calmly and find out which one it is.
- 6
Trace the leaves
In the forest, shapes are curvy: leaves, drops, fruits and flowers. Start at the dot and trace around until you're back at the start.
- 7
Slowest to fastest
The sloth is the slowest in the forest, and the horse runs really fast! Line up the animals from slowest to fastest.
5 and 6 year olds
Bigger challenges and the party that reviews everything the child learned.
- 8
Sure, maybe or impossible?
Some things happen for sure, like night coming. Some things might happen, like rain. And some things are impossible, like a sloth flying!
- 9
Which letter is missing?
The rainforest wind blew a letter away! Say the word slowly, listen for the missing sound and pick the right letter.
- 10
Counting by tens
Ten dots together make a ten. Counting by tens is fast: ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty!
- 11
How many are left over?
Sharing doesn't always come out even. Make groups of the size I ask for and find out how many sloths are left over, and sometimes it's none!
- 12
Rainforest party
Region party
It rained in the forest and the party started, nice and slow! Let's remember everything you discovered in the rainforest.
- 13
Find the vowels
Region party
A, E, I, O, U: the vowels show up in almost every word. Find the vowels among the other letters.
- 14
Big letter and small letter
Region party
Every letter has two shapes: big, like at the start of a name, and small, like in the middle of words. Match the pairs.
The trail starts free.
