We are so excited that you have joined us and chosen to venture down the path of chimpanzees! We love chimps and since 2014 we have been working on behalf of chimpanzees. This portal is our next step in sharing our knowledge of chimps with the world and creating a platform where we can connect and interact with chimpanzee lovers worldwide.

In this portal you will find lesson plans, games and activities that can be downloaded and used in your classroom. You also have the choice of having a Project Chimps’ representative teach them to your class virtually. We can teach the entire lesson or just a part of it, whatever works for your class. If you choose to teach the lesson yourself, you have the option of having Project Chimps virtually play a game with your class or complete an activity.

We want you to have options when it comes to incorporating lessons into your classroom. Our lesson plans, games and activities are free for you to use! You may adapt the lessons and activities to fit the needs of your classroom.
