RSPB's Big Schools' Birdwatch activities

8th January - 19th February 2024

Help chicken to feed her hungry chicks! Collect the worms and hop between the clouds to reach the nest. Be as fast as you can, collecting the correct number of worms before you go.

Great for number recognition and counting.
