PLAYED FOR YOU

Meine ersten Spiele

Wo ist mein Futter?

In the new series Meine erste Spielwelt Bauernhof children can play with the game components without rules and thereby train hand-eye-coordination and motor skills as well as color knowledge; the dice games teach first use of rules and emphasize a feeling of “we”, later one can play the competitive version.

The animals start on their pastures, the food baskets are placed into their corners of the board; three bales of straw for each player are laid out in a row, sun side up.

In the cooperative version you roll the die and move your animal to the next spot of the color rolled. For the sun the child shows that it is happy and chooses a color. For the moon a bale of straw is turned over to the night side. If you reach a pasture or the lake you take a food basket, if it shows your animal on the back side. Then you take the basket to the stable. After you brought the third basket to the stable you help other players to collect their baskets. If you all have all three baskets and the animals in the stable before the last bale of straw is turned over all have won together.

In the competitive version you do not turn over a bale of straw for the moon, but the child must yawn and stretch and pass the turn. If you take your animal to the stable with the food basket, you take a bale of straw, if you get the third bale of straw you win.

This is yet another excellent game in the series of games for toddlers; the change from toy to game is done subtly and playfully in the true meaning of the word. You can tell stories, name animals and other items on the farm and make the transit into the dice game via the colors.
