Disarray!

Disarray! – an exciting game for young children

Aim: to create as much mess as possible

No of players: best played alone. In a small group this game may quickly descend into another well known children’s game, Anarchy.

Rules:
1. The youngest player goes first
2. The player takes out a game with as many small parts as possible
3. The player spreads these small parts in a circle around him/herself in a totally haphazard fashion
4. Next the player then takes out another toy or game with multiple small pieces and spreads it around in a similar fashion
5. Play continues until no flooring can be seen. Extra points can be collected if the player manages to include marbles, jigsaw pieces, lego and those tiny bits of plastic in Operation.

How to win: the winner is always the small child. Parents – you will not win this game.

Naturally Maddie is an expert at this. Here she is, in Dominic’s room, demonstrating how to play.
