Maxi Head to Toe Race

Before the game starts, attach the 2 parts of the game board together. Shuffle the body part cards and make a face-down stack. This game can be played with 2-5 players. Each player chooses a pawn (concretely e.g.: People like me by Yellowdoor). All pawns choose a skin color head to start on the game board. Each player takes turns drawing one card from the stack and lays it open. Which body part is on it? Clap and split this word into word pieces / syllables. How many parts do you hear in the word? You may move your pawn forward that many spaces on the game board. Continue until someone reaches the feet first. Then you are the winner of the head-to-toe race.

TIP

Instead of word pieces, you can also integrate logical thinking and decide the number of steps by asking “How many times do we have this body part?”. For example: Eyebrows 2 pieces = 2 steps, Nails on your hand 5 pieces = 5 steps, Nose 1 piece = 1 step, etc..
