The 14 games of Pig Garden
4 and 5 year olds
More pieces that look alike, asking for attention and memory.
- 2
Number swap
The garden's little signs got out of order! You can only swap two neighbors at a time. Put them from smallest to biggest in just a few swaps.
- 3
Amount swap
Now the little signs have dots. Count each one and put them from fewest to most by swapping neighbors.
- 4
Colorful beds
The pig wants to paint the garden beds, but only has two colors. Beds that touch each other need different colors.
5 and 6 year olds
Bigger challenges and the party that reviews everything the child learned.
- 5
Garden paths
Now the garden has to be completely filled! Connect the pairs and go through every square. Sometimes a path needs to take the long way around.
- 6
Full garden
The pig's garden grew! There are more pairs in a bigger garden. Start with the veggies near the edge.
- 7
Last one standing
The piglets are playing leapfrog! A piglet jumps over its neighbor and lands in the empty hole on the other side; the one jumped over goes off to the mud. Keep jumping until only one is left.
- 8
Piggy hop
The garden turned into a game board! The piglets jump up and down and side to side. Think about which jump leaves more jumps for later.
- 9
Letter swap
The pig wants the letter signs in alphabet order. Sing the ABC softly and swap the neighbors.
- 10
Three colors
In these gardens, two colors aren't enough: three beds all touch each other. Use the three colors carefully.
- 11
Painted garden
Some beds are already colored and can't change. Start with their neighbors: sometimes only one color works.
- 12
Garden party
Region party
The harvest was great and veggies rained down on the garden! The pig invited everyone to the party. Let's remember what you learned with him.
- 13
Party connect
Region party
Lots of pairs and no gaps: plan your paths before you drag.
- 14
Party peg solitaire
Region party
Bigger boards and more piglets: one wrong jump and nobody else can jump. Think first!
