 Players race to collect Red Rover's twelve bones, testing their memory skills. View larger. |
Red Rover is a brightly colored plastic dog-shaped game unit that interacts with players. To begin play, 12 bones are spread face-down throughout the playing area. A player then touches Red Rover's rubber nose to select which game to play. Depending on age and skill level, players may choose between the Puppy Color Game involving only colors, or they may choose the more advanced Big Dog Challenge, involving colors, shapes, numbers, and letters.
Red Rover's friendly voice informs players which bone to search for via a large speaker integrated into the back of his head. Players can check to see whether or not they've grabbed the correct bone by placing it inside of Red Rover's mouth. If they're correct, Red Rover announces a new bone to look for. If the player chooses the wrong bone, Red Rover encourages them to return it to the play area and continue looking for the correct bone. By using positive encouragement, Red Rover makes learning fun and helps to keep children encouraged, even when they've gotten the answer wrong.
Let's Play!
The Red Rover game unit is a friendly looking red plastic dog that features a speaker integrated into the back of his head. This speaker is loud, making it audible over a large area so that players across the room can keep track of the game play action. An integrated backpack-shaped storage compartment neatly holds all 12 bones, and rubber pads on Red Rover's base keep him from slipping or tipping over.
With no assembly required beyond the insertion of three AA batteries, Red Rover is designed for durability. His hard plastic body protects the interactive computer that controls game play. Although the design is simple, it does take some practice to get the placement of a bone in Red Rover's mouth just right so that he responds appropriately. This can be done by wiggling the bone around until he audibly acknowledges whether or not the correct bone has been chosen.

Whoever helps Rover the fastest wins!
