Skill Level 1: Discovering Colors and Shapes!

(1-6 Players, Ages 3+)

Object of the Game:

Can you find a matching space for every shape and color?

Getting Started:

  • Mix up the pieces and hand out an even amount to every player. The color and shape of the pieces is not important.
  • Place any leftover pieces in their matching spaces on the game board.

Let's Play!

The youngest player goes first.

  • Everyone takes turns putting their colorful shapes in their matching spaces on the board. (Example: if you have a yellow circle, find an empty, yellow space in the shape of a circle.)

Winning the Game:

The game is over when each piece has found its matching space and the board is full of vibrant shapes and colors! Everybody wins!

Skill Level 2: Discovering the Dice!

(2-6 Players, Ages 4+)

Object of the Game:

How many pieces can you collect? Roll the die to find out!

Getting Started:

  • Set aside the shape die and only use the color die.
  • Start by putting all the shapes in their matching spaces on the game board.

Let's Play!

The youngest player goes first.

  • Roll the color die and pick any shape of the same color you rolled from the game board. (Example: if you roll the color green, take any green shape.)
  • The lucky joker lets you choose whatever color shape you like.
  • If you roll a blank, you miss a turn.
  • If you roll a color and there are no colors left that match, you miss a turn.

Winning the Game:

When there are no pieces left on the game board, the game is over. Everyone count your shapes! Whoever has the most is the winner.

Game Variations:

Mix it up a little by using the shape die instead of the color die. Only pick pieces from the game board that match the shapes you roll.

Skill Level 3: Colorama

(2-6 Players, Ages 5+)

Object of the Game:

How many pieces can you collect? Roll BOTH dice to find out!

Getting Started:

  • Start by putting all the shapes in their matching spaces on the game board.

Let's Play!

The youngest player goes first.

  • Play this game the same way as in Skill Level 2, but increase the challenge by using both dice!
  • Roll both dice and pick pieces from the game board that match the color AND the shape rolled. (Example: if you roll a green and a square, you take a green square!)
  • If you roll the dice and there are no pieces left that match them both, you miss a turn.
  • If one of the rolled dice is blank, you miss a turn.

Winning the Game:

When there are no pieces left on the game board, the game is over. Whoever has collected the most is the winner.

Skill Level 4: Colorama for Experts

(2-6 Players, Ages 5+)

Object of the Game:

Can you be the first to find a space on the game board for all your pieces? Roll both dice to find out!

Getting Started:

  • Mix up all the pieces and hand out an even amount to every player.
  • Place any leftover pieces on the game board.

Let's Play!

The youngest player goes first.

  • Take turns rolling both dice and placing pieces on the game board that match the color AND the shape rolled. (Example: if you roll a green and a square, you have to find a space on the board for a green square!)

Winning the Game:

The first player to get all of their pieces on the game board wins!

Helpful Information:

  • This game is very helpful for younger children learning how to identify shapes and colors. Encourage them to call out the colors and shapes of the pieces as they play.
  • Add some competition and see who can call out the right colors and shapes first!

CHOKING HAZARD. Small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
