Strong, powerful and instantly recognisable from its mighty roar and striking orange and black stripy coat – the tiger is the biggest of all the cat species. Tigers have been walking this planet for about 2 million years, however during the last century wild tiger numbers have fallen by over 95 per cent due to habitat loss, illegal wildlife trade and climate change. These majestic big cats are endangered, but with a helping hand we can protect them. WWF is working hard to help give tigers a future and you can too by becoming a tiger protector. Here’s a fun way to celebrate tigers!

Use your tiger keyring with pride and as a talking point to inform people about tigers and some of the reasons that they are endangered. Tell them how they can become a tiger protector too!

3D TIGER HABITAT CHRISTMAS CARD

Rangers are the eyes and ears of the forest, protecting wildlife and the landscapes they inhabit. A tiger ranger will work to help protect these majestic big cats from illegal wildlife trade, human wildlife conflict and habitat loss. It’s a really tough job that requires team work, dedication and a passion for wildlife and the natural world. Do you have what it takes to be a tiger ranger?

What you need

• Our ranger game sheet with the different items he needs to do his work

• A dice

• A pencil per team

• You can also watch a short film that shows the important job rangers do to help protect endangered species. youtube.com/watch?v=6ze_tcNpA6Y

The aim of the game!

This is a game for groups of 4-6 children, with the aim of seeing who can equip their ranger the fastest with everything they need to look after tigers. Each ranger will need to collect:

• Boots and uniform

• A waterproof jacket

• GPS System for tracking

• Training and support

• A fair wage

Once your ranger has collected all of the items listed above, you can draw an large smile on your ranger!

How to play

1. To collect these essential items, each team member throws a dice in turn; with the aim of throwing a six.

2. Teams need to work closely together to pass the dice quickly. Fantastic team work is a big part of being a top ranger!

3. When a team member throws a six they can link the ranger to the equipment of their choice before passing on the dice to the next team member.

4. Once the team has linked all of the essential equipment, a final six will need to be rolled in order to add your ranger’s happy smile

5. Once this has been done – the group must shout “TEAM RANGER” as loud as they can! The first group to shout “TEAM RANGER” is the winner.
