Flowers

Game description

Flowers

Dahlias, sunflowers, forget-me-nots and daisies cover the table, and every touch makes them grow. The longer the player rubs a flower, the bigger it becomes. Before long, the whole table blooms into a colourful garden!

Tips

Make the game more fun

• Ask the players about their favourite flowers. Did they ever have a garden? What flowers did they grow there?
• Challenge the players to keep going until every flower is fully grown.
• Bring in some real flowers or a floral scent for players to touch and smell alongside the game — a great added sensory layer!

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.
