Mimik Memo

Training for lip and tongue motor activity

At long last making faces is allowed! 16 different animal heads make the most diverse, diverting and different faces, each of them is in the pack twice, once on a tile with a blue border and once on a tile with a green border. Furthermore, there are one dice, one monkey pawn and 24 banana cards in the box.

For the game variant Monkey Theatre you pick out t the same 8 animals twice, shuffle all of them and place them face down depending on colour border. 15 banana cards are placed in a row to make a path; the monkey stands on the first card. You turn up a green card and all players make the face from the card. Then you turn up a blue card. If you have found a pair, you keep it. If you did not find a pair, you roll the die and the monkey moves along the banana path. If all pairs are found before the monkey reaches the end of the path all players have won together.

For a play of Who will be Banana King? you place 8 animal tiles face down, the green tiles for the same animals are placed open around the blue tiles, the monkey starts on any green tile. You roll the die, move the monkey and make the face of the animal reached. Then you turn up one of the blue tiles and receive a banana card for each pair found. If you turned up a wrong animal, all players imitate the face of the animal on the blue card. The first player to have collected three cards wins the game.

Mimik Memo offers a very well-made combination of the easy memo mechanism with training for lips and tongue, the mirror offers the opportunity for children to play alone and to control the faces.
