  • For 2 to 4 players, ages 3 and older
  • Teamwork: if the chicks make it home, everyone wins
  • Counting practice built right into each move
  • No reading is needed, so pre-readers can take part
  • Packaged in frustration-free Peaceable Kingdom style

How it plays at home

Because everybody plays toward one goal, there is no one to lose, which takes the sting out of a first board game. Children count spaces, move the hen and cheer when a chick returns. It is a short game, which suits a short attention span.

If your child counts faster than the grown-ups expect, let them be in charge of the counting. It builds confidence, and the game still ends with a happy coop.

Great fun for the entire family

Fun game for all. I actually bought this for a three year old but it turned out that all of us, from the three year old up to this grandma had a good time playing it together! It is not a competition but a game of working together. Then when playing one on one with the three year old, he wanted to do it his way of course and so we played a few rounds with other silly rules! Then we all ended up taking turns having our own rules, easily taking turns switching things up. This is a very appropriate way to include everyone, even the littles that don’t know how to play board games yet had fun. It has been a lot of fun! It is very family friendly. I highly recommend this game.

A quick fun game. Easy for little ones.

Very cute game, quick and simple to follow for little ones. I played it with my 3yr old grandson who followed along well. He thought it was fun to get the fox and take a chicken out of the coop. Good for counting, following directions.

So fun

My little kids think this is so fun to play. The game goes quick but it’s easy to play over and over. The colors are nice and inviting for young children. The quality is great. And easy for little minds to understand.

This game is good to practice counting

This is a lovely cooperative game. You are in a race against time as you try to get the chicks all back to the coop before the chicken reaches the end of the game board. You use a spinner to find out which space you will go to next (each space has a different picture on it corresponding to pictures on the spinner). You count how many spaces you move, and put that number of chicks in them coop. Sometimes you land on the fox and have to take a chick out of the coop, and sometimes you land on a plus one space and add an extra chick to the coop. This game is good to practice counting, particularly for working on one-to-one correspondence. As other reviews have stated, there are a lot of small cardboard chicks to keep track of, and they are most definitely a choking hazard if you have younger children as well. I find that we almost always win this game, so there is not much suspense. I prefer Hoot Owl Hoot, which involves a little more strategy— my four year old does too. I think he finds the counting a little cumbersome. But this is a good game for learning to work together, take turns, and count. I would recommend this for three or four year olds — I think older kids will be bored.
