Team Team

Accessible and exciting
Stimulates listening, observation and creating
Simultaneous play
 
As you might guess from the name, in Team Team you play in teams, with each team consisting of a speaker and a builder.
 
Each builder has a set of five tiles, with the tiles featuring five shapes, five colors, and five animals; each team's tiles have a different arrangement of these features. Each builder lays their tiles in a row in front of themselves, and they want to arrange these tiles in a pattern known only by the speaker, with the pattern being the same for all teams.
 
At the start of a round, one of the speakers reveals a sound card, such as "Woof!" or "Bong!", then they place a pattern card on a display that is visible only to the speakers. The pattern might be 3-5 animals in a row, 3-5 shapes in a row, or 3-5 colors in a row. Play then begins.
 
Each builder starts by placing a finger on two different tiles, then their speaker will:
 
Make the sound once — Bong! — if the builder should finger different tiles.
Make the sound twice — Bong! Bong! — if the builder should switch the fingered tiles.
Make the sound thrice — Bong! Bong! Bong! — if all of the tiles are arranged properly. At this point, the builder slaps the multicolored tile in the center of the table. If this team's tile arrangement is correct — and with only 3-4 tiles depicted on a pattern card, the tiles must be in the proper order and adjacent to one another — then they claim the pattern card as a point. If they are incorrect, then each other team scores a point.
 
The first team to score 3 points wins.
