"Floral Loto". (Victoria&Albert Museum). Lotto is played like bingo and has always been a game of chance. Publishers of children's games decided to use the format as an educational tool. This is a natural history version. There are 12 large cards, each with 10 illustrations of flowers. The small cards, of which there are 120, are printed with the popular name of a flower, its botanical name and its emblematic significance. Players must fill up the large cards with the correct smaller cards, which are drawn from a bag.
