Bird Feeder

Game description

Bird Feeder

Cheerful blue birds hop across the table, inviting players to interact with them. Pass the fat balls to other players to feed the birds or gently stroke them. When petted, the birds will sit still for a moment. Between the twittering sounds and gentle movement, it’s an easy and relaxing way to bring a little of the outdoors inside.

Tips

Make the game more fun

• Spread birdseed across the table for an extra playful touch.
• Ask players to guess what kind of bird it is, and congratulate the ones who get it right.

Level

Level 2

Players do not just observe the game, but must also be able to focus their attention on it. There is no goal to work toward; it’s a gentle first step into active play at each player’s own pace.
