Shapes for Mouse

Game rules

This game can be played with 2-8 players. Each player chooses a color boy or girl mouse.  We are going to decorate the clothes with fabric shapes. Choose in advance which type of task cards you will use: shapes with 3 or 4 quantities or shadow shapes with 3 or 4. Take the task card with the dress or overalls in the color of your mouse and the chosen number of shapes. Each player takes turns grabbing a shape from a tactile bag. Look at your example card. Do you need this shape for the mouse's clothes? Is the shape in the correct color? If yes, you may place the shape in the correct spot on your mouse's clothes. If not, put the shape back in the bag, your turn is over. Try to be the first to collect the right shapes to decorate the mouse's clothes.

Tip

You can also put one piece of each shape in a tactile bag and when grabbing the correct shape, have the child find it in the color needed for their mouse's clothes. (For example, print the shapes once in black and white and use these in a bag).
