For generations, girls and boys have enjoyed playing Candy Land. The game is based on colors, so you don't need to know how to read, making it particularly suitable for children.
Steps
Step 1. Prepare the table
The youngest in the group starts the game.
Step 2. Shuffle all the cards
Form a deck of cards. Make sure they are face down so that no player can see what he will draw.
Step 3. Draw a card and move to the closest matching color
If you draw a blue card, move to the nearest blue square on the board. If you draw an empty card, you must go back to the first empty space and answer a question.
Step 4. Watch out for obstacles that may arise
By being on the wrong square, you may get stuck until a red card comes out.
Step 5. Continue to the end
Always be patient with younger players. They are learning fundamental skills of cooperation and sharing. Your children will be sad not to win, so remind them that in your eyes they are all winners.
