HEADU Animal Lotto

HEADU Animal Lotto is a Montessori-inspired bingo and categorization game designed for children aged 2 to 5 years. It focuses on socialization and naturalistic intelligence by teaching children to group animals according to their specific habitats.

 What’s Inside the Box?

• 6 Habitat Cards: Sturdy boards representing different environments (e.g., Savannah, Sea, Forest, Farm, etc.).
• 30 Animal Tokens: Thick, shaped cardboard cut-outs of various animals.
• Instructions: Including suggestions for both guided and independent play.

 How to Play

The game can be played in two main ways, depending on the child’s age and social development:

• Animal Bingo (Group Play): * Each player chooses a habitat card.

• The animal tokens are placed face down in the center.
• Players take turns flipping a token. If the animal belongs to their habitat, they "win" it and slot it into their board.
• If not, they show it to the others and place it back face down. The first to complete their board wins.

• The Three-Step Montessori Lesson (Educational):

• Naming: You show the child an animal and say, "This is a Lion."
• Recognition: You ask, "Where is the Lion?" among a small group of tokens.
• Recall: You point to the token and ask, "What is this animal called?"
