To play with the snapdragon Hold the snapdragon as explained above, then ask a friend to choose a forest creature from the four on the outside e.g. deer. Spell out the name of the animal or bird, ‘d-e-e-r’ while opening and closing the snapdragon one way then the other. Next, your friend chooses a tree from the four shown. Spell this out in the same way, then ask your friend to choose another tree. This time, open up the snapdragon and ask the question under the chosen tree name. Play again – how many different answers to the questions can you and your friends come up with? To find out more about how the Forestry Commission looks after your local forest, and the other public forests in England, please visit: www.forestry.gov.uk/england-learning On the webpage, you can also complete a short survey to tell us what you think of the snapdragon - we’d love to get your feedback.
