HABA My Very First Games: Let's Be Veterinarians

A crocodile, elephant, cheetah and flamingo are waiting for a little help. In HABA’s Let’s Be Veterinarians, young players become animal doctors and work out which pretend remedy belongs with each patient.

Two game ideas let families introduce the pieces and rules gradually. Matching animals with the right care creates a playful reason to look closely, remember details and take turns. The animal-care theme also leaves room for children to tell their own stories around the game.

Part of HABA’s My Very First Games range, this short game is designed for ages two and up. Rounds last about ten minutes, making it approachable for children who are still getting used to a shared tabletop activity.
