Whatever you think about the French, they know their cheeses and their kissing, and maybe not coincidentally, they’re good with nature, too. French-made Nature Challenge card games have a deck of (36) cards, which players use to compete while learning about nature and science. Flip a card, choose a characteristic (say, longevity) and compare it to other players’ cards. The player with the strongest characteristic wins all cards, a la War. Each of these (6) decks has a theme, and you pick: Sea Creatures, Space, Legendary Creatures, Cats, Kings of Camouflage or Extraordinary Animals. Ages 7+. Bonne chance, amis!
