Ravensburger 4 First Games

4 First Games is a collection of children's games with a common matching theme that begins with easy-to-follow directions for simple turn-taking and color matching skills for very young preschoolers. Two games are directed at slightly older preschoolers, which introduce more complicated play rules that still focus on color matching skills but also movement around the board and the beginning of game strategy. With the fourth game, for children beginning school, the matching becomes more conceptual and the movement around the board offers more options and introduces the need for strategic thinking. In each game, fine motor and spatial skills, basic movement, attention to game rules and patience are sharpened and help build a child's confidence. Four exciting quick-play games offer young children opportunities to interact with friends and family while learning basic game play skills that teach as they entertain. The games engage children with positive reinforcements through basic game play patterns that develop color-and concept-matching, counting and directional skills.
