Sometimes it is color recognition, especially if you ask the child, \”What color is on your card?\” Sometimes, they are matching what they see. When they turn the card to show you but can\’t label the color, you can point out the same color on the board and then show them with a gesture, which direction they are moving. Then say, \”Move to the next place that you see the same color on your card.\”

Recently, I have done observations on children\’s play and I was able to observe children between the ages of 5and 6 years old playing this game. I think board games like candy land have a lot of good concepts that can be taught from this to young children. One concept I saw children picking up while playing candy land was color recognition. Some of the children stated the colors they saw and counted the squares along the path. On the other hand others would try to match the colors along the path and some children I over heard even would match the colors to their colors that they were wearing on their clothing. I really liked this idea of playing candy land because I feel it is a game that is developmentally appropriate for children and is a game that is fun for children to do.

This is one of my childhood games as well. I supposed when they are good they last for generations. My boys started thinking that this game was \”girly\” later one- maybe because there are pink flowers and red hearts on the board. Who knows- they loved it when they were little.

The game helped him learn what comes after another (sequences) it helped him with matching colors and the pictures. This was also one of the first board games I had as a child. I still enjoy playing this game with children.
