EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
HOW TO PLAY
There are 3 game modes:
1. SET THE PLACEMAT
By rolling the die you discover which color to start with. A player reads the sentence corresponding to the color indicated by the die, and the player whose turn it is chooses and correctly places the elements on the tablecloth.
| The colors relate to 4 difficulty levels: |
| LEVEL 1 – green: sentences that contain foods (worth 1 point) |
| LEVEL 2 light blue: sentences containing foods and colors (worth two points) |
| LEVEL 3 yellow: sentences containing foods, colors and quantities (worth 3 points) |
| LEVEL 4 red: sentences containing foods, colours, quantities and positions (worth 4 points) |
2. A VERY DEMANDING CUSTOMER
In this game mode there will be two protagonists: the one who narrates and the one who sets the table. The narrator will have to interpret the indications on the cards and provide correct instructions to the player who will set the table.
3. WHAT’S IN THE FRIDGE?
The third game uses the back of the board depicting a refrigerator full of food and the question card. Roll the die and answer one of the questions of the color corresponding to the one indicated by the die. The different colors of the questions also correspond to levels of increasing difficulty in this game.
