What it is
A long carved riverstone board sits in the garden with a row of little pits for each player and a big store at each end. Scoop up every seed in one of your pits and sow them one at a time around the board. Land the last seed in your store to go again, or in an empty pit of yours to catch the seeds across from it. Most seeds in your store wins. Play Olly and friends, solve sowing puzzles, or play a friend.
What children learn
For fun, with lots of counting: predicting where the last seed lands and planning chains of free turns. PlayTime games keep stars but are not counted as learning evidence.
