5. If you answer incorrectly, you just got caught in the
web. Take a predator card. Follow the directions on the
back of the card. Return the predator card to the bot-
tom of the pile.
If you get caught in the web at the start of the game,
you loose a turn. Stay where you are and start again on
your next turn.
6. Play continues to the next player to your left.
How to end the game
The first player to make it home safely to their habitat ends
the game. Each player then counts how many question cards
they answered correctly.
Keeping Score
If you are the first insect to return to your home spot, you
earn a point.
Every card you answer correctly, you receive one point.
The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.
Alternative Game Play
1. Use the question cards to play a quick insect review
game. Call out the question and the first team or player
to answer the question correctly earns a point. The fact
cards are a great way to start a discussion or have a
review on different insects.
2. Start the insects in each corner. Try to be the first insect
to make it to the middle of the game board. First person
to land on the spider earns an extra point.
Note: Players may need an adult to help pronounce and
define the scientific vocabulary found on the fact cards.
