Maxi Goldilocks & the Bears Race

Before the game can begin, attach the 2 parts of the game board together. Cut and fold the extra piece to fit the house and place the little house on the game board. Shuffle the cards and make a stack. This game can be played with 4 players. Each player chooses a pawn (e.g., Goldilocks, Papa Bear, Mama Bear, or Baby Bear). You can use the pawn cards or cut out the figures. All pawns start on the image of their character. You can offer this race in 4 different ways to differentiate.

Game mode 1, Loose cards: Each player draws one card from the pile in turn and lays it open. Which object or character is on it? Which character matches this object? For example: big bowl = papa bear, small bowl = little bear, medium chair = mama bear etc.. Only the player with the matching character for this card may move the pawn one step forward on the game board. Continue until someone reaches the house as the end first.

Game mode 2, Spin the color: Each turn, one player may spin the C-spinner. Which color do we see? Only the player with the character that matches that color may move one step forward. For example: Yellow = Goldilocks, Green = papa bear etc..

Game mode 3, Spin the character: Each turn, one player may spin the C-spinner. Which character do we see? Only the player with the same character as pawn may move one step forward.

Game mode 4, Spin and connect: Each turn, one player may spin the C-spinner. Which character or object do we see? Only the player with the same character as pawn or the matching character for the object may move one step forward.

TIP

You can also add a die. Then the number of steps forward is also determined and you add a pronunciation exercise. You can also adjust game mode 1 by working with word pieces as the number of steps forward instead of associating.
