Robot Face Race

Robot Face Race

Shake the Robot Randomizer, then scan the board to find the robot head with the matching features. The first to find it earns a scoring token. The first person to collect five tokens, wins the game. 

There are five different colors and four features - eyes, nose, mouth and head shape. Shake the Robot Randomizer to mix up the marbles. Two marbles will drop into the nose section and only the top one will show (for a total of four).

Robot Face Race will require concentration and the ability to retain at least some of the four features in working memory as you scan up to 110 robot heads on the game board. I thought the kids would love this game, but they didn't. I think the problem was retaining that much information while scanning that many heads. My suggestion was to choose one feature and scan systematically for it. Each time you find it, stop and check the other features. For an easier game, start by choosing only one or two attributes to search by and work your way up to four.

Try this:

• Make an easier game by searching for only one or two features and only opening the board half way to scan fewer faces.
• Use the tokens if you are playing an abbreviated game (i.e. one attribute, half the board). Place a token on each face you find a match on so you won't repeat looking at the same faces, and know when you are done.
• Work on visual discrimination, visual scanning, visual memory, working memory, figure ground, manual dexterity, process skills, executive functioning skills, socialization skills, play and leisure exploration and participation 

In the box: Game board, Robot Randomizer, 20 game tokens
