The Educational Games section on the Three Mountain Alliance site offers playful, place-based learning tools designed to teach students about Hawaiʻi’s watershed ecosystems and native species. This includes digital and printable games, such as the “Hawaiian Watershed Adventure” board game, which combine fun with ecological education to support ʻāina stewardship in classrooms.
Learners can download the game board, instructions, and pieces, then assemble and play in small groups.
Through gameplay, students navigate watershed zones, learn native plant and animal roles, and confront ecological challenges.
Some resources include distance-learning PDFs with crafts, videos, and lesson plans that connect games to broader classroom themes.
Ideal for in-class game sessions or self-guided home explorations using TMA’s supporting PDFs.
