There is also a focus on taking turns and having to do what is asked of the player [such as go back a few steps ro fall down a ladder]. I love playing this game with a family because it shows me the following:. Sometimes caregivers have a difficult time just playing with their child.

I encourage them that not all interactions with their child have to be about caregiving, some can be just about having fun! Some parents tend to be more forceful, and will often yell at the child for not playing the game correctly. While some parents will allow the child to play at will with no respect for the rules of the game. This gives me insight into the families protective factors [factors that help shield the family during times of stress] and risk factors [factors that exacerbate the stress of a family].

For the age range these games are aimed at, fairness and rules can be hard to teach. However, I try to assess how a child responds to being redirected during the game as well as how the child redirects others when they feel something has gone amiss in the game. Academic strengths and weaknesses of the child The two games require that a child know basic shapes, colors, and can recognize numbers and letters. Oftentimes, through playing these games I am able to assess where the child is academically, and work with parents to facilitate activities that bolster the strengths and improve areas of weakness.

Two pawns may not occupy the same space on the board therefore, pawns are allowed to jump and bump other pawns. If a pawn is located in your path, and you have sufficient number of moves, you may jump over that pawn. Pawns may also move backwards if a 4 or a 10 card is drawn. If you land exactly on a space with a triangle, no matter which card you drew, you can slide along the marked spaces until the end.

You may only slide on triangles which are not your own color. While sliding you may also bump pawns in your path back to their start. If you land on a triangle of your own color- do not slide, just stay on the triangle. Normal rules apply within the Safety Zone.

You may not enter the Safety Zone through a direct backwards move, however you can move backward out of the Safety Zone if the card instructs. That pawn has the opportunity to move back into the zone on the following turn.
