The 14 games of Duck Pond
2 and 3 year olds
To get started: few options, big pictures and the teacher’s voice.
4 and 5 year olds
More pieces that look alike, asking for attention and memory.
- 2
Catch the number
Each fish in the pond carries a number. Listen to which one the duck wants, wait for it to pass and catch it at the right time.
- 3
Fit the blocks
The duck wants to fill the holes in the dock with blocks. Pick a piece, tap where the square with the dot goes and see if it fits.
5 and 6 year olds
Bigger challenges and the party that reviews everything the child learned.
- 4
Catch the letter
Now the fish carry letters. Say the word slowly, find the first letter and catch the fish that has it.
- 5
Treasure map
The duck found a map! The rows have colors and the columns have pictures. Find the row with the color, follow it to the column with the picture and dig there.
- 6
Near the boat
Now the clue uses things on the map. Same row means across, to the side; same column means up and down.
- 7
Treasure path
The map tells you to move space by space, following the arrows. Start at the right spot and count each step with your finger.
- 8
Light the lanterns
There's going to be a night party at the pond! Each lantern you tap turns on or off along with its neighbors. Think before you tap: your taps are counted.
- 9
Lanterns in a row
On the pond's dock, the lanterns are lined up in a row. Tapping one changes it and the neighbors beside it.
- 10
Lights out for bed
The party is over and the duck wants to sleep. Now it's the other way around: turn off all the lanterns, with the same neighbor rule.
- 11
Block shapes
You can build shapes with blocks: a cross, stairs, a little house and even a duck! Fit all the pieces.
- 12
Pond party
Region party
The lanterns lit up and feathers rained down on the pond! The duck invited everyone to the party. Let's remember what you learned with him.
- 13
Party fishing
Region party
At the pond party, the fish came decorated with shapes. The duck wants the ones with a star!

Lots of pieces and not much space: think about where each one fits before you place it.
