It is a fun way to aid development of language skills, imagination, concentration, and reactions. For 1-6 players and a reader. Please note: This game can be played without the other games in the Ratz Fatz series. For ages 3-12. As the poems and stories are read by the reader (and players are encouraged to make up their own) the players attempt to be the first to grasp the appropriate wooden object when it is referred to in the story. The game can also be played with one player. making the game more of an activity for the reader and player.
