Ravensburger Funny Bunny Game - Engaging Family Board Game for Kids and Adults | Quick Gameplay | Easy-to-Follow Instructions | Unique Replay Value | Ages 4 and Up

I am a school-based speech therapist working with K-5, and recently added Funny Bunny to my speech room. This game was an absolutely instant hit with my students! Funny Bunny has an attractive set up, is easy to learn, and promotes great turn-taking and sportsmanship skills. What’s not to love? Although my review is written from an educator's perspective, please note that Funny Bunny would be a great addition to any family game collection.Contents & Objective:Funny Bunny is recommended for ages 5 and up and can be played with 2-4 players. The game consists of a game board, 24 cards, and 16 bunny figures in four colors. The board consists of a 3-dimensional base shaped like a hill. Little pavers lead up to a carrot at the top of the hill. The goal of the game is to be the first player to get their bunny to the carrot without falling into treacherous holes along the way.Game Play:All players start with four of their bunnies at the base of the hill. On their turn they pick a card from the top of the deck. There are two different types of cards: bunny cards indicating how many spaces players get to move, and carrot cards. When players pick a bunny card, they move one of their bunnies according to the number of spaces shown on the card (one, two, or three). If players get a carrot card, they need to spin the carrot. This is where it gets interesting: spinning the carrot causes holes to appear on the game board. If a player’s bunny is on a space that is turning into a hole, the bunny will fall in and the player needs to start over. Players can also choose to have multiple bunnies on the board at the same time. For example, if a player receives a card that allows them to move one space but that space is a hole, they may choose to move a new bunny onto the board.My students loved the suspense of finding out where the hole would appear next when a carrot card was drawn.Quality:I am used to Ravensburger games being high quality, and this product is no different. The base is solidly constructed. Just be mindful that the carrot only spins one way (if you force it the wrong way, it might break). The cards are somewhat thin, so if you are planning to use this game a lot (i.e. a classroom setting), you may want to consider laminating them for additional durability.Educational value for Speech Therapy and Beyond:Funny Bunny a great game to work on planning and strategizing, as some spaces are “safe” and other spaces have the potential to become holes. Players should move their bunnies in such a way to avoid the unsafe spaces.One of the pros for educators about this game is that the game uses cards instead of a die. That way, you can “rig” the game and manipulate the deck to control whether a player will fall into a hole or not. With some practice, you will be able to predict which space will be a hole next, so you can further manipulate the game. That way, if you have students who are sore losers, you can purposely let them fall into a hole to work on sportsmanship (yes, it’s kind of mean, but a skill many of my students need to work on). To make this game more challenging, you could add the rule that you can only have one bunny on the board at a time.Funny Bunny is also a great choice for younger students working on specific speech therapy targets such as Final Consonant Deletion. You can have them practice words like “hop”, “carrot”, “spot”, “rabbit”, “top”, “in”, etc. You can also target positional concepts, including “under”, “on top”, “in”, “in front”, “behind”, and “between”.The versatility of this game makes Funny Bunny a great choice for any therapy setting. The game is easy to learn, and even my cognitively lower functioning Kindergarteners grasped the rules quickly. It is definitely a winner in my speech room this Spring!Please note that I received this game gratis in exchange for my honest, unbiased review.

Simple concept, exciting board, frustration free gameplay. My three year old immediately understood how to play. He can "read" his own cards and move his pieces independently.He doesn't mind the traps. He actually LIKES when his pieces fall and he loses them for the rest of the game. He finds it funny and he loves turning the carrot.He never cares who wins because at the end, no matter who won, we all take our bunnies to the carrot for a carrot feast to celebrate the winner. (Woohooing, miming eating and making nom sounds. It's our silly addition.) So it's really developed his sportsmanship despite not being a collaborative game.This game is attractive, sturdy, easy to play, and fun. (Even for adults.) Get it.

I bought this as an early Easter gift from the Easter Bunny for my 5-year-old grandnephew. He absolutely loves this game and did not want to stop playing it.

We gave this as a Christmas gift this year to all our grandchildren. All of them loved it and ask to play it every time they’re over. Great for all ages and great to help with counting skills as well! Such a cute game!

I bought, and still have, Ravensburger games from when my kids grew up. Although that was 30 plus years ago, I was curious to see what they were offering and if they were as well made for the next generation. I was not disappointed!Funny Bunny was a hit with our family and my 3 1/2-year-old grandson. He loves turning the carrot and watching where the "ground shift" during the game. I was concerned that the carrot would be difficult for his dexterity. I was also concerned that the bridge that goes up and down during the game and the gate that swings open and shut would be flimsy. Again, not disappointed.During his last visit, this was the first item pulled and was played repeatedly by anyone who would play with him.This is a must have for the game cabinet!

This is really fun. We all enjoy it. The little gate broke right away - kid's fault - but we just made a house rule that if you land there, you slide down. We took it apart more than once trying to glue the gate back on and we were able to put it all back together with no problems and it still works great.

My five year in old lives this game. It is simple enough and the game ends early enough where it keeps his attention. Athe same time, it does require some thinking skills to play. It is a good starter board game that can transition to the more difficult ones. I recommend.

Such a fun game! I’m a speech pathologist and use it in my sessions, and my clients love it! I modify the rules a bit for my very young students, and my older students like to make up their own versions of the game rules, as well to add some spice to the game!
