Komm mit in Millys Lernzoo

Salad for the elephants!

Milly has some work to do in the Learning Zoo; Bear, Lion and Elephants have received mail, Milly needs to feed the animals and apply a coat of paint to the animal shelters. And on top of all that, penguin Dapdap has escaped from his compound and gone to visit his friends - so Milly has to catch him, too.

If Milly is standing in front of you, you draw a card from the task pile. When Milly is depicted on the card, you look at the card and search the corners of the board for a tile showing this task and put it on the correct spot in the correct compound.  The pails belong to the house of the same color, the letters must be placed with the correct numbers and in case of the food tiles you must consider which animal likes to eat what and, for instance, then place the honey at the bear’s compound.

When you were able to assist Milly and have assigned the tile correctly, you get the task card. When Dapdap the penguin is pictured on the card, you put him to the next compound and imitate the noise of the animal in this compound, so that Dapdap has greeted it properly. When all has been accomplished you hand Milly to the next player. When Dapdap is back at his own compound all players have ably assisted Milly. You can go on playing until all items have been assigned.

In a more difficult version you place all nine food tiles and you must put as many pieces of food into Millys wheelbarrow as there are animals in the compound. You can help Milly alone or play with two, three or four. Learning happens along the way in a world supplemented by books and other material and that is maybe encountered by the child in nursery, too.
