The kids have been very careful, but the wolf got into the house nevertheless and the kids must hide from the wolf. Six cards showing hiding places – bed, table, bathtub, cupboard, dresser and stove - are in play, and 26 kid cards featuring between 1 and 5 kids.

All kid cards are shuffled and six cards are turned up and laid out in a circle. All players try to memorize the number of kids on each card. Then all kid cards are covered with a hiding place card and the wolf is placed on one of the hiding places.

You roll the colour die. If the wolf stands on the hide-out in the resulting colour, you have been unlucky and you only may chase the wolf away to another hiding place. If the wolf does not stand on the hiding place determined by the die you name the number of kids on the card beneath. The hiding place card is lifted and the number of kids on the card beneath is checked. If you stated it correctly you receive the card. Then the top card is drawn from the pile, the number of kids on it stated and then the card is covered by the hiding place. The first player to collect six cards wins the game.

The card game is a nice variant of the board game and a very good training game for introducing numbers 1 to 5 as well as for training observation and memory abilities. Who is the first to spot that there is always only 1 kid in the bathtub and always five in the cupboard? Due to the small amount of material and space needed to play the game is a very good game to be taken on a trip. Telling the story of the Wolf and the Seven Little Kids is of course the ideal introduction to the game.
