Description of Play:
Players choose a playing board and gather a pile of small markers such as beans, pennies, or torn pieces of paper (monitor very young children with these!). Players then take turns picking a calling card and reading out the color and shape represented on the card, such as “red circle” or “pink diamond”. Every player who has that color and shape combination on their board may cover the square with a marker, and the first player to cover 5 squares in a row wins the game. Special rainbow-colored shapes in the center of each board make play more interesting, and additional shapes cards are provided for extension activities.
