Color Match Tri-ominos

Color Match Tri-ominos

Another version of Tri-Ominos, Color Match Tri-ominos is based on color instead of numbers or pictures. The tiles are lightweight plastic, hollow, easy to handle and the color is part of the tile, not a sticker.

Object:
Ae the first person to play all your tiles, or to have the fewest tiles when no more matches can be made.

Set up:
Turn all tiles, color side down, on the table and mix. Each person draws tiles per the number in the instructions (depends on the amount of people playing). Players stand their tiles up in front of them so no one else can see them.

Play:
Players take turns. A tile with all three sides the same color starts the game and is placed on the table between the players. Each player, in turn, places one of his tiles adjacent to a tile(s) that is already in play so that two or three of the sides match in color. For an example of this, see the three tiles on the bottom of the box on the image above. If a player does not have a matching tile to play, he must pick tiles from the remainder of the face-down tiles until he gets one to play. If he picks all the tiles and he does not get a match, he is out of the game. The game ends when someone plays all of his tiles or no one can make any further matches.
 
Try this:

• Play alone. Place the tiles face-up on the table and see if you can use all of the tiles.
• Turn the tile in-hand to get the correct orientation once you find the placement.
• Stand them all up in a line, front to back, and then give the end one a push to knock over the line of them (like dominoes).
• Randomly place the tiles on a flat surface, color side up. One person calls out three colors and the other players race to see who can find that tile first. Start with fewer tiles if necessary, adding in more as the players get better at it.
• Work on visual discrimination, spatial relations, figure ground, visual closure, manual dexterity, in-hand manipulation, fine motor precision, socialization skills, executive functioning skills, process skills, play and leisure exploration and participation

In the box: 56 tiles
Ages 5+, 2-6 players
