Game#2:
What's Floating on the Water?
A guessing game for 2 – 4 children age 2+.
And presto! Who will pull which toy out of the bath water?
Before Starting to Play
Place the bathtub in front of the children and insert Bubble Bath Bunny and both ducks into
the slots. Shuffle the tiles and lay them face down on the water surface. Have the die ready.
Play
The children play one by one in a clockwise direction. The last one to have shriveled fingers
from a bath gets to go first. He picks up a face-down tile and looks at it without letting
anyone else see it.
Then he asks his neighbor to his left:
What's on my tile? Bucket, whale or boat?
The other child takes a guess and turns the die to show the symbol he thinks is on the tile. The
child who asked now lays his tile next to the die and everyone compares them together.
Ask the children:
Does the picture on the tile match the die?
• Yes!
Well done!
• No!
Oops!
The tile disappears in the suds: The child who asked slides the tile into the slot
next to Bubble Bath Bunny.
Now it's the next child's turn. He turns over a tile and looks at it without letting anyone else see it.
End of the Game
The game is over once there are no more tiles on the water surface. The children then stack up
their tiles. The child with the highest stack wins. The game can have more than one winner.
My Very First Games
The child who guessed right gets the tile then places it down in front of him.
