Fun with Clover Leap and Digger's Garden Match

Clover Leap and Digger's Garden Match were the first 2 SimplyFun games S played. Needless to say, he loves them!

Clover Leap    

This is a really cute game where the idea is to create silly sentences to get points. Basically, you move the sheep around and collect clovers either before all the clover tiles run out or the sun reaches the nighttime position. The clover tiles are broken into 4 colors; white for subject, blue for verb, yellow for adjective, and red for object. You need one of each color to make a complete sentence. One sentence that S made yesterday was " I make hairy buses." You can see how this can get quite amusing!

Rolling to see what to do next.

One part of the game that S loves is avoiding the sheep dog piece if someone moves it near your sheep. Of course, I'm sure it helps that I make a scared sheep face and really act it up so he laughs hysterically when the dog scares one of my sheep. When we first got this game we played it for a full hour and a half, only stopping for dinner. Since then S has asked to play it at least once a day. It is definitely one of his favorites!

Digger's Garden Match  

This game is also very popular in our house. The object of the game is to match tiles by either color or shape and moving your dog bone the appropriate amount until someone reaches 50 points on the board. This game can be as easy or as difficult as you make it. You can match 1, 2 , 3 or more sides together to see how many points you can get.

Deciding where to put his tile.

S is getting good at matching 2 sides of the tiles together, but he's only been able to match 3 sides a few times. On our last family game day, my husband and I had a little competition going to see who could match the most sides and get the most points. I topped out at 12 points for 3 sides before we ran out of tiles. It is a lot of fun and S asks to play this one all the time!

Overall, I would (and do) recommend these two games to anyone I talk to. They are a lot of fun and it's so great seeing the kids working out everything as they play.
