Ratz Fatz

Die groSSe Sinneswelt

The Ratz Fatz concept of recognizing, naming and searching for components of the game that are named within stories was here used for a mega edition, a game collection with which all senses are meant to be stimulated and trained.

The copious rules are divided into different sections; first the basic rules are presented in five games or ways to play and different detailed suggestions are offered.

Then come different sections featuring stories, poems, riddles and experiments; in six categories for training and using visual, auditory, olfactory and degustation perception as well as tactile, haptic and spatial perception. As already mentioned, there are rhymes, poems, choosing-games, join-in-stories and the collection is accompanied by a CD which you can use instead of reading out the stories yourself and at the end of the rules you even find a “thank you” game for adults who did accompany and supervise the game, the game is called “the game is finished”

You can only appreciate the multitude and enormous content of ideas in this game collection when you try it out for yourself; as an adult and game master you enjoy the ideas, too, especially when you come across ideas like identifying bad and nice smells in a poem und to throw the sources of bad ones into a tin. And when the tongue is featured, the topic is not only taste and tasting, but all the phrases from “guard your tongue” and others to composite nouns that contain the word, like tongue-twister, are featured. This is creative, informative, and cheerful and keeps you discovering new things! If you were not yet in love with Ratz Fatz, you will be now!
