Go hog wild with this game starring the furry and feathery beasts of Jean Baptiste-Oudry's paintings. How many toes does a leopard have? Does a crane perch on one leg, or two? Students test their visual skills as they prowl through an artistic jungle, looking for the details that are missing or which do not belong.
Use the game to excite your students about their visit to the exhibition Oudry's Painted Menagerie or to prepare them to explore the exhibition's online presentation.
Learn more and play the game!
