This game is a great way of learning autumn language and finding out about some of the changes that the creatures of the countryside experience during the course of the year.

Once you’ve finished playing the game, you can add some comments on what autumn is like in Korea and what you can collect in the countryside at this time of year before making an autumn box containing things you might find in your area in October and November.

Children can then search the internet for other autumn words and build up a picture dictionary or perhaps write a diary of some of the things they do in the autumn months.

Happy hunting!
