We are learning how to play games with my 4 year old grandchildren. After receiving the game from us and playing one time, the very next time they brought the game out and wanted to play again! They love imitating the actions of dogs. We are learning about how to take turns, count spaces and play together. I think the game is a little long for 4 year olds so we just start a little closer to the end. Great first game for the grand kids.
