Hit the Hat

Grab the right hat!

Colorful hats in different shapes and with different patterns and borders must be found. There are hats in three shapes, there are some shaped like a floppy beach hat, some formed like baseball caps and some like a top hat. Possible patterns are dots, flowers, stripes, hearts, colored dots or spots similar to a turtle carapace. And to top this off, the hats have different borders, either green or pink. Could give you same ideas for a carnival party! Now you roll three dice, one determines the kind of hat, the second the pattern of the hat and the third one determines the color of the border. There is always only one hat that fits all criteria, If you are the first to spot the correct hat, you grab it! Grabbing means you hit it with the suction cup at the end of the plastic stick – if possible with only enough force to pick up the hat and not breaking the stick. If you have managed to grab the correct hat you receive a chip for a reward. If you are the first to collect 6 chips you win the game.

For younger children you can build up the game in steps and start with one or two dice only, then there are several hats fitting the criteria.

For a family game parents can search for all three criteria and children for only two of them, they can choose which ones or can determine the criteria before the game, maybe border color and shape.

In any version this is a very nice very simple variation of a well-known mechanism. Children love the sucking-cup mechanism and the stick but are sometimes too enthusiastic in hitting a hat with it, so that it will not stick.
