Activities - Rainforest Superpowers

Make cards for all the adaptations in the rainforest. The 360VR Rainforest Walk might help you! Now play a game of charades. Show the superpowers for rainforest plants by miming them out. For example, your hands can walk along a friend’s arm to represent creeping plant climbers or you can stand with feet wide apart to represent large roots, etc.
