AdventurerKatziThis game is an ideal game for New Year's Eve and especially for children who are not yet able to read it. Print out the symbol cards and then you can start. In turn, everyone draws a card and paints a symbol. The others guess the term. So children get to know the symbols around the turn of the year. They learn how to use the symbols and you can tell them about the meaning. At the same time, they practice painting and playing together.
Have fun and good luck in the new year.
