Dog Ralley

treats out of the toy roll

In this agility game in the range of Active Kids games, players are little dogs called Mila, Flic, Jona and Pepe, who are chasing after treats that fall out from their toy roll.

On the dog area - represented by the box bottom carrying a board - each player selects a meadow with a food bowl; the meadow for each player has room for three treats each in yellow, orange and red.

For a round, you put two treats of each color into the toy roll and set the toy roll out on the floor at the starting point. Players kneel in a row behind the toy roll; one of the players or the adult game master gives the toy roll a good push forward; while it moves, treats fall out and players on all fours chase after the toy rolls and grab as many treats as they can until the toy roll has come to a standstill. Now, all players put the treats they collected into their meadow; if you collect more treats of a color than you need, you put the surplus treats back into the toy roll for the next round. It may happen that now treats fall out while the roll moves; in this case, you leave the treats in for the next round and you also add two treats of each color to the toy roll for the next round. If treats happen to fall out while the toy roll is moved back to the start for the next round, you also put them back into the roll. Whoever is first to completely fill his meadow, wins the game.

A very cute and unusual idea for a game, which suits the new range of games called Active Kids exceedingly well and plays very well on floors that are reasonably smooth. Indisputable proof that movement is fun and  enticement to move for little movement sourpusses.
