PLAYED FOR YOU

Tierisch auf Zack

 From the lion to the cow to the penguin

The animal mats are spread around the board and you play three different levels of difficulty. For level Green you turn over one mat, turn the spinner on the board and then all players must either run along all mats, stand still on the mats, step on one mat after the other and name the animal on the mat just left without looking back and call “Fex” for the face-down mat. Or you must find the animal tile for the animal featured on the face-down mat and then throw the tile onto the corresponding map from across the board on the floor.

For the Blue and Red Levels you turn over two or three mats at the start of the game and play the games from level Green in slightly varied form: For the slalom in Level Blue you turn over two animal tiles, one is start and finish, the animal of the other tile must be imitated. For Level Red you turn up a third animal and imitate its movement. For the stand-still exercise in Level Blue all players must hold an animal position until the timer runs out and in Level Red animal movement must be repeated. When naming passed animals you must call “fex” on face-down mats and otherwise - in Level Blue - name the last animal but one that you passed and - in Level Red - the second last animal. And for the last exercise you must be able to9 remember the two animals featured on the turned-over mats for Level Blue and all three animals on the turned-over mats for Level Red.

What a fun lesson! You do not only exercise but must remember animals while you imitate others and you croak, roar or jump like a frog. That is modern learning, unconsciously, with a lot of fun and rewarded with cups!
