Funny Bunny

Move your rabbits up the hill and try to be the first to reach the carrot at the top. When the carrot is turned, holes open, and a rabbit standing on a hole falls in and is out of the game. The game supports turn-taking, coping with surprises, and being happy for others.

Make It Easier

Make It More Challenging

Before each turn, plan out loud: which rabbit is best to move now, and which one is too close to a hole?
