    A BIG YEAR FOR BIRDING GAMES

    arlie Jordaan was only 14 when she started the Big Year Group. Inspired by the comedy film The Big Year , she challenged her friends and family to a birding competition and they all. Carlie, now 18 years old, tells us more: It’s an interactive, bilingual board game that educates through play. Players compete in teams to see who has the most bird knowledge for their level of birding. We’ve included the names and sounds of about 300 different bird species. My friends and family are all big nature enthusiasts, which is why we started our own Big Year in 2015. Never have we had so much fun, gained so much bird knowledge or accumulated so many petrol bills! We were all pretty gloomy when it ended. The gloomiest was my aunt – she missed the excitement so much that she came up with the idea of the board game, and our two families created it together.
