The Great Fish Story

This game would be used following instruction based on the Pacific salmons life-cycle, migratory patterns, and obstacles the salmon faces to complete its life. This subject matter would probably be taught in a Life Science class, but could also be taught in a Social Science class dealing with the Pacific Northwest and Northern California

In this game each player takes on the role of a school of Pacific salmon.

The object of the game is to get the most pairs of male and female salmon back to their spawning grounds.
