Bibittes en cavale - Ludo & Méninge (ML)

In the world of Bugs on the Run, four tiny insects are living big adventures. The garden becomes a whole playground where a bee, a ladybug, a dragonfly and a grasshopper wait for you to guide them through countless little quests. You will need agility to build wee shelters by balancing branches on rocks, cross the garden board to spot the best hiding places, and watch for the smallest details to help your companions sneak through the nature around them. In this tiny but wonderful world, every stroll becomes a mission, every object a resource and every friend a precious hand of help. Between balance challenges to build before the tower tips over, dry-erase boards to fill in with a pencil and cards to study before the sand runs out, this educational game is built for fun just as much as for learning.

You will likely fall for Bugs on the Run if you are after a family party game that gets little hands moving as much as little minds. Between wobbly constructions to steady with careful fingers, pictures to memorize and words to call out loud, this board game neatly blends fine motor skills, observation and memory into a single box, without ever losing its playful side. Parents and educators looking for an activity that sets up fast, is easy to grasp and packed with little laughs will find it fits the bill, and so will kids who love ladybugs, dragonflies and grasshoppers from the garden.

Bugs on the Run belongs to the Ludo & Meninge collection, a line of games designed by special education teachers, speech therapists, neuropsychologists and occupational therapists for kids ages 5 to 12 and the whole family. Two sidekicks tag along with every game: Ludo, who suggests variants to keep things fun, and Meninge, who drops pedagogical tips to get the most out of every activity. The result: a box that works on fine motor skills, language and attention without ever feeling like a worksheet, a combination rarely found together in one single game for ages 5 and up.

The game is signed by Laurence Cote and Anik Bois, who orchestrate the balance and observation challenges of Bugs on the Run, while Nathalie Tremblay's lively illustrations give all their charm to the bee, the ladybug, the dragonfly and the grasshopper that populate the garden.
