Moopher’s Amazing Journey to the Sea is an exciting new board game designed for children ages 7-12+. By helping Moopher (a mischievous gopher) travel to the sea, children learn about their place within the Saskatchewan River Basin, its diverse culture, and how their actions can influence the greater watershed basin.

 

Each Game Includes:


• 1 large 20 x 29 gameboard with diorama on back
• 1 instruction booklet with diorama pictures
• 3 decks of memory cards (for playing as part of the game,  or on its own)
• 1 deck of river cards (trivia)
• 4 river rocks, dice
• 1 evaluation form

 

Travel Through Time or Visit Different Ecosystems

 

“Moopher’s Travels through Time” examines how society has changed over time by comparing drinking methods, housing, transportation, important animals, and tasks through four time periods (aboriginal community prior to contact with Europeans, time of the fur trade and Metis communities, arrival of settlers from other parts of the world, present day communities along the river).

“Moopher’s Visit to Different Ecosystems” examines the types of animals and insects associated with the mountains, forest, grassland, aquatic ecosystems. Moopher even makes an appearance in them.

The back of the game board is a large diorama showcasing 4 different ecosystems. The booklet contains two additional activities with associated games.


In an effort to continue being able to reprint these games, we are asking for a donation of $15.00 for each English game.  We ask that applicants commit to using the program with children in their community, and submit the evaluation form (this can be done online or by mail).
