Game preparation
Put all figures in the cloth bag. The cards are laid face up on the playing area. The CD and die
are not needed.
Let's play!
The game proceeds clockwise. The child who last petted an animal may begin by taking a
figure out of the bag.
Which figure is it? Which color is it? What sound does it make? Where is the corresponding
card?
The figure is identified and placed on the matching card.
The other children may also make the sounds, as well as help find the matching card.
Once all figures have been matched, you can ask a few questions about what the figures
have in common and what their differences are.
One after the other, the children sort the figures and answer the questions.
Ask only a few, select questions, which are then discussed in detail.
Examples:
• Which animals have the same color? Find and collect all the blue (red, green, yellow)
animals.
• Which animals have a fur? Which animals have feathers? Which animals have wings?
• Which figures have you already seen in real life? Which ones have you only seen in books
or on TV?
• Which figures are animals? Which are not?
• Which animals live on a farm/ in Africa/ in the zoo?
• Which figures are smaller in real life than you are? Which are bigger?
• Which figures can swim/ run/ crawl/ fly/ drive?
• Lay the red little bell on the left side of the cards and the blue bell on the right side of
the cards. Which animals face towards the red little bell? Which ones face towards the
blue bell?
Variations:
1. More detailed questions about the figures:
• The cow would like to know what products are made from her milk. Can you name
some?
• The horse likes to eat fruit. Who among you also likes to eat fruit? Which fruits do you
like best?
• And so on...
2. Tell stories:
• You can encourage the children to form sentences or think up stories.
• Hilarious nonsense stories can be 'rolled' around. One child rolls the die and places a
figure matching the color on the die in the center of the play area. The child now begins
the story with one sentence about the pertinent figure. Now the next child rolls the die,
chooses a color-matching figure, places it next to the first figure and continues the story.
If a child rolls the star, he may choose any figure.
