Lemur Food Web Toss Instructions and Files The Lemur Food Web Toss playing space can be created in a number of manners. Some examples are on
laminated circles, paper plates, or sports bases. The flow of energy arrows can be created most easily with
tape or laminated sentence strips with arrow ends.
Below is a diagram of the play space. The blue circles represent optional additions. Consider adding the sun
and decomposers as well to discuss their interactions. The labels are included as a key, but in the actual game
the circles would be blank, with the images and clues on the throwing pieces (Frisbee, bean bag, etc).
