Woopie Falling Beaver Dam is a family game with simple rules: push the logs out of the dam one at a time without letting the beaver fall.

In this family skill game you first build a dam of 42 logs between two walls and put the beaver on top. Then players take turns pushing out one log with a special stick. When the wall collapses and the beaver falls, the game is over. It is for 2–4 players. The game teaches concentration, planning and problem solving and trains hand-eye coordination. In its smart box it makes a ready-made gift.

What your child develops

• Hand-eye coordination. Each log has to be pushed out very carefully.
• Strategy. Choose the safest log to remove.
• Logical thinking. Your child judges what holds the wall up.
• Problem solving. Every turn creates a new situation.

How to play

Build the dam together and place the beaver on top. Take turns pushing out logs – whoever collapses the wall loses.

Let younger children touch the logs first to find a loose one.
