DIGGITY DOG
Mother dog just loves playing games. Here, she has hidden twelve bones, three
for each puppy. The players are the puppies who must search for their matching
coloured bones. It’s time to prick up your ears and listen carefully! How many
times does Mother bark? If you can count to three, then you will know how
many spaces you can move before you put your nose to the ground again.
You may also choose to dig up a bone or tease one of the other puppies. The
first puppy to find all three of their matching bones wins the game.

Before you start:
Place the game board on a table and put Mother dog in the middle- remove the
plastic strip from the base of the battery compartment. Place the bones
coloured side down on the board. Mix up the bones so nobody can remember
the colours. Next, place a bone in every ‘hole’ on the game board. Each player
chooses a puppy and puts it in the matching coloured kennel on the corner of
the game board.
A bone in every ‘hole’
For two or three players:
Use all of the bones and place them in the ‘holes’ on the board. Each player
chooses one puppy.
The bones for the colour puppy not in play remain on the game board.
For two players, you may both choose to play with two puppies.
To start the game:
The youngest player starts the game. Give Mother dog a pat and press on her
back. She starts to bark. You must count how many times she barks: once,
twice or three times. You may move your puppy the same number of spaces on
the board. The squares with paw prints on the board indicate the playing area.
Players are free to move around the board in any direction they choose, so each
new turn you may decide where to move your puppy. The puppies move across
the squares with the paw prints.
