The My Very First Games series sets out to offer rules, that are easy to follow and a series of additional hints and tips. Depending on the game, the degree of difficulty increases or a number of variations are included. Thus, My Very First Games stimulate children over and over again by setting appropriate challenges for their age, fostering their early development, holding their interest for a long time ... and, above all, being a lot of fun.

Three animal stacking games for 1-4 players age 2+

In free play, children will practice role-play with the farm animals or work their motor skills by piling the animals to form one or more towers. Both die games will acquaint them with first games with rules. The co-operative game variation also fosters their team spirit and shared experiences.

Play with your child and talk about the animals, their characteristics and living spaces, thereby stimulating your childs language and auditory skills, creative skills and also the joy of playing!

Game Idea: One by one the children carefully stack animals on to pof each other. Thus, depending on the game variation, they build one or two animal towers as tall as they can. If no animal falls off while stacking, the player receives a sun as a reward. Who will have collected the most suns at the end?

Three Game Variations

Game #1: Sheep upon Hen

A first stacking game for little animal tamers.

Preparation of the Game:
Place the shamrock meadow in the center of the table. Distribute the nine animals around the meadow. Shuffle the suns and distribute them with the sun face-up.

How to Play
First player turns over a sun. Look at the animal shown. Take this anmal and place it on the meadow. If an animal is already standing there, stack the new one on top of it.

Have one or more animals fallen off as you tried to stack them?

  • Yes? Bad luck! Take the animals that have fallen off and place them somewhere in the meadow again. Any animal that did not fall remains on the meadow. Unfortunately, you cannot take the sun. Put it aside.
  • No? Great! As a reward take the sun and keep it in front of you.
End of the Game
The game ends as soon as all the suns have been turned over. The player with the most suns wins. In the case of a draw, both players win together.

Game #2: Cow upon Sheep

A funny animal stacking exercies for skilled animal piling players.

Preparation of the Game:
Place both the shamrock and the flower meadow in the center of the table as shown. Place two bushes in between them. Distribute the nine animals and the suns around the meadows.

How to Play:
First player rolls the die. What appears on the die?

  • The shamrock? Take any animal and place it on the shamrock meadow. If there is already an animal, stack your animal upon it.
  • The Flower? Take any animal and place it on the flower meadow. If there is already an animal, stack your animal on top of it.
  • The Sun? Fantastic! You can choose on which meadow you want to place or pile an animal.
Have one or more animals fallen off during your stacking attempt? Same Rules apply as with Game #1.

End of the Game:
The game ends as soon as all of the suns have been distributed. The player with the most suns wins the game. In case of a draw, both players win together.

Game #3: Competing with the Rabbit!

A Co-operative die competition with the rabbit.

Preparation of the Game:
Place both the shamrock and the flower meadow as well as the bushes as shown. Arrange the suns to form an arch from one to the other bush. Place the rabbit on one bush. The remaining eight animals are placed inside the arch formed by the suns.

How to Play:
First player rolls the die. What appears on the die?

  • The shamrock? Take any animal and place it on the shamrock meadow. If there is already an animal, stack your animal upon it.
  • The Flower? Take any animal and place it on the flower meadow. If there is already an animal, stack your animal on top of it.
  • The Sun? Bad luck! The rabbit comes crawling out of his den and approaches the flower meadow. Move the rabbit to the next sun.
If during your piling attempt one or more animals have fallen off, place them back around both meadows. Then its the turn of the next player to roll the die.

End of the Game:
If you succeed in piling all the animals before the rabbit reachees the second bush you win the competition together. If however the rabbit passes the last sun and reaches the second bush, you lose together against him. Just have another go!

Hint: The game gets easier if you play with fewer animals.
