Shoe-be-do

Where IS the Shoe?

Schuhbidu the Imp has returned and all shoes are scattered about the room. So you must clear up, playing one of two versions: In Where is the shoe? all shoes are placed into the bag. All players draw three shoes from the bag and keep them in their closed fist. Then you stretch out your arm so that all fists touch each other and on a signal all players drop their shoes onto the table. Then all search simultaneously for pairs of the same size and color. If you find a pair, you put one finger on each shoe of the pair. If you think that there is no pair, you grab Schuhbidu. Then the result is checked:  Correct pairs are put on the player’s rack, wrong shoes go back to the table, and if you grabbed Schuhbidu and there really is no pair on the table you may take a pair from the bag. If you are the first to have four correct pairs on your rack you win the game.

In the version called Which shoe is it? you set aside five different shoes. All others are placed into the bag. One player impersonates Schuhbidu, places the five shoes on his rack, draws four shoes from the bag and drops them onto the table. Now all search for pairs. You can only put a finger on a shoe in the middle of the table, you can only touch one shoe and each shoe can only be touched by one player, so you must be quick in finding pairs. Again you take a correct pair of shoes for you rack and if you have collected four pairs you win the game.

Shoe-be-do offers a fast, simple game with a topic that is easily grasped by children. The game trains recognition of pattern and size relations, while being lots of fun to play.
