Bright Buttons is a fun and educational board game for preschoolers designed by an Australian mum.
Simple to play this game for 1 - 4 players is enjoyed by boys and girls and is also fun for parents and grandparents.
The colourful sturdy box contains:
1 gameboard, 4 foam building blocks, 1 colour coded dice, 4 buttons playing pieces, 225 questions and challenge cards, instructions are on the bottom of the box.
How to Play:
Players move around the board by throwing the dice and moving onto the next space of that colour. The player than answers the question or performs a challenge from a card of that colour. There are Lucky Buttons spaces that involve a challenge and the player gets another turn. A player finishes when they move past the last space on the board and answer their final question.
The questions are divided into 3 categories:
Knowledge (blue): can involve naming an object in the picture, general knowledge e.g. what does a lion eat? or answering a question about themselves e.g. spell your name
Work It Out (yellow): kids to need think through answers such as - who is the tallest person in your family? how many objects in the picture? use the foam blocks to build a tower the same as in the picture
Physical Challenge (red): gives kids an opportunity to get up, be active and have fun while following directions on the cards e.g. quack like a duck, hop on 1 leg 3 times
Cards also contain information for parents on how these activities support learning.
