Large-scale board game teaches kids about animal protection

Taiwan Animal Equality Association (台灣動物平權促進會) raises events in riverside parks around New Taipei City to teach the public how to safely interact and avoid conflict with stray dogs. One of the activities at such events is a large-scale board game that has been attracting the attention of many children.

The game, called “Battle to Rescue the Animals,” invites children to serve as rescue experts. Rolling dice to move forwards, the kids are confronted with various tasks, questions and hurdles to cross. By getting a medal, the kids are able to rescue the animals and as long as they return to the starting point it’s considered a great success. Participating children have all been taking great delight in the game and the parents have given it a big thumbs-up. 

In addition to the large-scale board-game activity, there are also computer games and volunteers providing explanations, as well as dogs brought for adoption by New Taipei City Animal Shelter. With its multi-pronged fun teaching approach, Taiwan Animal Equality Association is making a deep impression on people’s hearts.

大型桌遊吸人氣 小孩玩耍學動保

台灣動物平權促進會，在新北市河濱公園舉辦活動，向民眾宣導，如何與流浪狗安全互動，避免衝突。其中有一項大型地上桌遊，吸引了許多小朋友的注意。

這個遊戲名叫「動物救援大作戰」，請小朋友擔任救援專家，先擲骰子再往前進，有各種任務、問答和關卡。得到獎章可解救動物，只要回到起點就算成功。小朋友都樂在其中，家長對此也表示肯定。

宣導活動除了大型桌遊，還有電腦遊戲、志工講解，新北動保處也從收容所帶出狗兒，開放民眾領養。多方嘗試，寓教於樂，相信動保教育會更深入人心。
