Rain clouds appear over the meadow (game board)... and from a previous rain shower, rain drops (small wooden chips) are on the slide, sand box and climbing tree. In turn, the children roll a color dice to determine which area they attempt to dry out. Then a card is drawn that determines which finger & which hand they will use to shift the drops. The children may cooperate and give each other hints. The difficulty is increased as players are forced to change fingers and/or hands by the game board. This game helps young kids have a great time while learning their "right" & "left" as well as developing fine motor skills & hand/eye coordination. -- paraphrased from a Babel-lation of the Spiel des Jahres entry http://spieldesjahres.kiratec.eu/cms/front_content.php?idcatart=617&id=533
