A Cooperative Game for Young Children: Snail’s Pace Race

by Jennifer Lance on August 16, 2007 · 0 comments


Snail’s Pace Racewas first recommended to me by a fellow preschool teacher. This cooperative game allows very young children to work together moving snails across the board. Two colored die are rolled, and depending on the color showing, the appropriate snail is moved. Snail’s Pace Raceteaches turn taking and color identification, and it is fun! The large wooden pieces are easy for little hands, and only the die pose choking hazards. Snail’s Pace Raceis a game my six-year-old and three-year-old can play together without adult assistance. For a very thorough review of Snail’s Pace Race, visit Thingamababy.
Snail’s Pace Raceis made by Ravensburger, a company I have always liked.
