DO YOU WANT TO LEARN ENGLISH OR DUTCH?
Funimal by Pleduco is an original, educational and ecological card game with a social value. A unified concept can playfully teach you the Dutch or the English language. We try to put children and foreigners in contact with these languages through our fun and simple card game.
OUR GAME
Funimal is a fun, educational and ecological card game for young and old. It is a unique game to playfully learn our Dutch language or English. It's a card game with recognizable animals. It is the intention to be the first to discard all your cards. This requires different cards and you must form word chains.
​
How does it work?
Each playing card displays an animal with its name at the bottom. The first and last letter are in the top left and right corner. An animal card may be placed on an animal card, the name of which begins and / or ends with one of these letters. You can also make a strategic choice and place a monkey card. A detailed manual is provided in the appendix.
​
Specifications:
· 133 cards (98 animal cards and 35 monkey cards)
· 2 to 8 players
· 5-99 years
· Language: Dutch or English

ABOUT US
Sint-Ludgardisschool in Merksem and the students of the 5 ASO economy joined forces and established a mini-company in September 2018. Together we came up with a unique concept to playfully improve the language skills of different target groups. We soon came up with the key words: Play, Learn, Education, Economics. A combination of letters brought us to the name of our mini-company: PLEDUCO. We won several prizes for the best mini-company in Kapellen, Wijnegem and also in the Province of Antwerp. Former financial director Lisa Beckers left our student company in May 2019.
