Summer Association Game

Game Rules

This game can be played with 2-8 players. Each player chooses a color card (beach guest) and also takes the matching pawn card. All players start on the sandcastle at ‘start’ on the game board. Each player takes turns rolling the dice, counting, and moving their pawn (beach guest card in a stand or a physical item as a pawn) on the game board. Look at and name the object, place, or animal you land on. Think carefully and find one or more objects, characteristics, or elements that match the image you are on. For example: beach cabin matches beach or swimwear, seagull with nest, crab with rock or claws, sea with diving goggles or starfish, ice cream cone with ice cream, swim ring and ball with pump, kite with wind, sun with sunglasses, parasol with sun, beach chair, shell, and sandcastle with beach. Make the connection or association between the images. Then cover them with the round image token from the game board. Try to have as many round tokens on your card as possible before reaching the end (the inflatable flamingo). Who is the fastest beach guest and who collects the most beach items? Everyone must first reach the end, then we count who has placed the most round tokens on his/her card. So there are two winners.

Tip

As a pawn, you can use physical items like pegged dolls or you can use our researcher cards and attach them to a stand or a block (such as wood or Duplo).
