I have always loved games. As a kid, if I could have gotten my older siblings to play a board game with me, I’d jump on it. Unfortunately for me, they are six years or older than me in age, and so, as the littlest, I probably wasn’t the best playmate.
Now that I have a little one of my own, I can understand their point of view. Any structured game that lasts longer than 20 minutes (with my four year old) usually turns into planning a surprise party for the My Little Ponies. That is why, when Erin challenged me to make a game, I immediately thought of playing with my four year-old.
To get the little one excited about playing “Mommy’s new game”, I recruited her in the creation process. Out came the play dough, paints, a left over egg carton, and a star shaped hole puncher.
Playing with play dough was the obvious first choice. Little C loves it. During football season we have Packer’s Play Dough Sundays. She sits at her table and plays for at least half of the game. Usually, the My Little Ponies are brought into the mix, and we pretty much let her make a mess. Having hardwood floors, it is easy clean-up, and it’s a small price to pay to watch the Packers.
This time, though, I sat with her at her table. We made little “game pieces” from the molds. I still didn’t have an idea of what the game would be, so we just made a bunch of each. If you let play dough dry for a few days, it becomes hard and solid.
Next came the painting. Luckily, I had kept an old egg carton (it must have been my sixth sense telling me I’d need to craft with it). Choosing primary colors, I painted the outside. I wanted it to look inviting for curious kids. I then took one of my hole punchers and created the title of the game, “Run, Run, Run!”.
I finished off painting the inside of the carton’s lid, and making little directional arrows, so players would know where to go.
My daughter had then given up on the whole, “making a game with Mom” idea. She pulled out her legos, and started to play with the play dough pieces.
I went to work making stars with a hole punch and numbering them.
Lastly, I decided to use the gingerbread men as personal game pieces. I colored the backs of two, so players can tell who’s who.
To learn how to play this game read on!
Run, Run, Run!
Run, Run, Run! As fast as you can! You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man! A fast paced counting game is family fun for all ages.
Object of the Game:
Choose a star and move your gingerbread man around the carton cups. Collect as many sweets as you can. If your sweets have the highest value at the end of the game, you win!
Before You Begin:
Spread the stars out, number side down, on the open lid of the carton. Place one sweet in each cup around the board. Get a piece of paper and a pencil. Write down each players name (this will be to add point totals at the end of the game). Choose your gingerbread man.
Playing the Game:
Youngest player goes first. Choose turn a star over, move your gingerbread man the amount of cups indicated. Collect your sweet. Switch Players.
Repeat until all stars have turned over.
Winning the Game:
Turn the stars back over, and mix up. Choose a sweet to add a value to. Turn a star over, that number is now how much the sweet is worth. Add your new value to the point board. Repeat this process with each sweet. The player with the highest point total wins!
Added Notes:
This is a great game for kids who are learning to count and add. The numbers are simple, and it moves fast. It is perfect for kids who are new to board games, and a fun project to make. Hope you give it a try!
