Description
Along a public Mandai Wildlife West path, find a shadow and work out what is making it. Both people choose a shape for the other to trace back.
Cost: FreeBest time: Morning, Afternoon
Play guide
- 1At a clear spot on the path, choose one visible shadow from a plant, railing or your own body.
- 2Each guess its source, then look between the shadow and the actual object to check.
- 3Let the other person choose a new shadow. Try your own hand shadow to see how moving the source changes its shape.
Success signals
A visible shadow is connected with a real object and a change in its position.
If it's tricky
There is no clear sunlight: compare two actual leaf or railing shapes instead of searching for shadows.
