Marbles

Game description

Marbles

This cheerful game brings back the atmosphere of old-school funfairs. Cast the coloured marbles into the spinning holes; the Pixie gives a helping hand, so there’s always a sense of achievement. By timing each movement right, players can score even more points. Working towards one shared score brings out a nice bit of friendly competition.

Tips

Make the game more fun

• Ask players if they ever played with marbles growing up, and what their favourite colour was.
• Keep track of the final score, and see if they can beat it in the next round.

Level

Level 4

It is possible to make ‘mistakes’ while playing these games. The goal is to encourage players to think and reason. Their choices and reactions shape whether or not they reach the final goal.

Effect

• 

  Physical effect

  Games with a physical component elicit intuitive movements and respond to even the smallest of hand movements of the players. This increases their self-confidence and motivates them to continue playing and moving.

• 

  Social effect

  Fun is something you experience with each other. Games that stimulate the social domain promote interaction and social contact between the care workers, players and visitors.
