My Very First Games First Orchard

This game is a simplified variation of our classic “Orchard“ game has been adapted to suit very young players. The game material is especially designed for small children‘s hands. It will foster improved motor skills and is also totally suitable for free play. Talk with your child about the colors and shapes of the wooden pieces thus stimulating your child‘s language, auditory and creative skills as well as enhancing the joy of playing.

How to Play: Play in a clockwise direction. Whoever has eaten an apple most recently may begin. If it you cannot agree, the youngest child begins and rolls the die. What appeared on the die?
• One of the colors red, yellow, green or blue Pick a fruit of the corresponding color from its tree and place it in the basket. If no fruit of that color is left on the tree, nothing happens - pass the die on to the next player.
• The fruit basket Pick any fruit from any tree and place it in the basket.
• The raven

Oh dear! The raven approaches the orchard. Move the raven one path card forward. Then it‘s the turn of the next player to roll the die.

End of the Game: If the players succeed in harvesting all the fruit and have it all in the basket before the raven has reached the orchard, they win together; as a team they have been quicker than the voracious raven. If the raven passes the last path card and stands in the orchard before all the fruits have been picked, the players lose together against the quick ravenous thief.
