Animal Scramble features an electronic hand-held tagger shaped like a giraffeand four fist-sized friends (a parrot, tiger, elephant and monkey). The giraffe calls out which animals kids should run to and tag and tracks the amount of time taken to complete each course. In team mode, kids are instructed to pass the giraffe to other players as they work cooperatively to achieve their fastest time.
As the game progresses, the commands become more challenging. In early levels, the giraffe calls out the first letter or full name of the animal to tag. Once kids master the names, the game adds in animal sounds, colours and characteristics (Who says ROAR? Who is green?). These questions help kids learn to identify single objects in multiple ways.
Animal Scramble requires physical exertion through running, reaching, bending and tagging movements that aid in the development of large and small muscle groups while improving coordination and motor skills. The sharing, listening and turn-taking aspects of the game practice positive social behaviours. Played indoors or out, solo or in teams, Animal Scramble keeps kids up on their feet, expending energy and most importantly - having fun!
Requires 3x AA batteries to operate (not included).
