Family Game Time

Dear Parents,
We got an excellent board game in our classroom that we want to share with everyone and help our Pre-K families to experience "Family Game Time". This game was kindly given to Pre-K Friends in honor of Liza's Birthday. At the end of the week one of the Pre-K friends will take the game home to play it with family on weekend and then  bring it back on Monday.
This game is based on the classic tale. You could find the tale in the game box.
Players work together to “cook” a soup by making matches of ingredients. Match all of the ingredients before the fire under the kettle goes out and everyone wins! 
Players take turns turning 2 cards face up. If they match, place the 2 cards in the kettle area of the board. If they do not match, turn them face down. If a player turns a Fire Out card face up, the Fire Out card is placed on the fire area. If 10 Fire Out cards are placed in the fire area before all 12 matches are made, players lose. But wait, there is 1 magic stone card that can turn any Fire Out card face down again on the board. Players decide together when to use the magic stone card to help keep the soup cooking. It is a great game that teaches cooperation, turn taking, planing, and etc.
We love this game, therefor it should be handled with respect and we expect it to be returned on Mondays.
