Common trees
Drag the labels into the correct slots. The guidance can help you. Note the person next to each tree to give an idea of the size they can reach. When you are ready, use the 'Mark' button to see if you're right.

Teaching tips:
Get children identifying and naming common deciduous and evergreen trees.
