Aligned with the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), this resource supports multiple learning outcomes:

Outcome 2: Children are connected with and contribute to their world
By learning about life cycles, children develop an appreciation for living things, the environment, and the interdependence of nature. This fosters respect, care, and responsibility for the world around them.

Outcome 4: Children are confident and involved learners
Sorting and sequencing the wooden pieces encourages problem-solving, observation, and logical thinking. The game supports active exploration and experimentation, allowing children to make connections between cause and effect in nature.

Outcome 5: Children are effective communicators
The visual and tactile elements of the game encourage children to share ideas, explain their reasoning, and engage in storytelling. It is an excellent tool for developing vocabulary related to science, growth, and the environment.

Inclusion & Accessibility
The Wooden Life Cycle Board Game is inclusive and adaptable for children of all abilities. Its tactile wooden pieces support sensory learning for children with visual impairments, while the clear illustrations benefit visual learners. Educators can adjust the complexity of the activity to suit developmental levels, ensuring every child participates meaningfully.
