PLAYED FOR YOU

GroSSer Spielezauber

My very first Game Collection

Toddlers want to play games, love to play games - Großer Spielezauber offers a collection of ten games for toddlers up to three years: The range covers Picture Bingo and games featuring color dice as well as a cooperative memo game; it spans Domino and Memo as well as the topics of spotting items, assigning and naming items and also motor skills and stacking. The components include colored building blocks, round and square image tiles and domino tiles featuring stars.

In the first game, Zauberhaftes Zauberlotto, the topic is recognizing and assigning pictures; Magische Sternenschlange trains recognition and assigning of colors and symbols; in Game 6 - Entdecker im Zauberwald -taking a close look is added to the range of topics, and Turm des Zaubers adds motor skills. The last two games in the collection use all those topic in combination; if you, for instance build a Magician's castle from the colored building blocks, you train motor skills, taking a close look, shapes, color and symbol recognition as well as assignation of colors, symbols and shapes as well as memory abilities. All games also practice understanding of rules and handling of rules in general, and with this comes first acceptance of results that are not liked that much, for instance a dice result that is not welcome.

A beautiful, nice collection of games for toddlers, some of them good for solo play, some of them for up to three players; some are a bit demanding, but the games build on the previous ones; for the youngest ones the magician marker needs not be named yet. Each game also features tops on how to vary the game for younger or older players.
