Here we have another great game from Edustic that's full of action, with all players in on the fun from start to finish. In a head-to-head race, players use simple geometric shapes to create an animal, object, or number shown on a flipchart. The shapes come from the famous seven-piece Chinese tangram puzzle. That these simple geometric shapes can be used to form such a vast variety of creatures and objects is astonishing. The first player to complete the puzzle earns seven points, while the other players lose a point for each tile missing from theirs. Tangram Smart helps develop math confidence, geometric skills, critical thinking, prediction, spatial rotation, and in an added twist, language skills! Each page in the flipchart booklet also shows the Spanish, French, and Chinese word for the object, animal, or number to be created, and part of the game play is to discuss these translations. One game variation even allows points to be stolen based on language skills. The player with the most points after five rounds wins the game. For 1 to 4 players.
