My Very First Games

Game 2: Stack ’em High (but Don’t Overdo It!)
A stacking game with some wibble-wooble.
Before the Game Begins
Sit with the children in a circle around the board. Place it so that everyone can see the
construction site. Place Rhino Hero Junior on the construction site
and the preassembled floors around the game board.
Baby Spider Monkey doesn’t dare
climb yet and stays in the box
with the two roof cards
showing Baby Spider Monkey.
Get the remaining roof
cards ready in a pile,
with the roof side
facing up.
The children have the job of constructing a high-rise building,
starting with the largest floor at the base and finishing with the smallest at the top. Can they
place Rhino Hero Junior on the topmost roof without the tower falling down?
Now We Can Begin!
Play goes in a clockwise direction. The youngest child goes first.
Ask the child:
Which floor needs to go on next?
The first player takes one of the floors and places it on the building site to get the game
underway. The next player will choose a floor to go on top during their turn.
Everyone looks to see whether it is the correct floor.
Ask the child:
Was the floor that was just placed the largest of what
hasn’t been used yet?
•
Yes!
Excellent! Take the top roof card and lay it on the floor,
roof side up.
•
No?
Ah what a shame, but don’t stress. Remove the last floor
and return it to where it was found.
