17 Action Cards

The Action Cards represent the movement adventures that you are going to encounter on your journey.

There are 17 illustrated cards (A6 size).  The story unfolds as you turn card by card. The family team plays out the adventure described on the Action Card they turn.

You will find four types of movement adventures in the game:

Sú dobrodružstvá, kde sa premeníte na zvieratká. Premenia váš rodinný tím na gorily, leňochody či prehistorické dinosaury. Zvieracie Sú dobrodružstvá, kde spolupracujete v páre či tíme. Odvalíte ťažké kamene, odgúľate popadané stromy či preskáčete cez lávové jazero. Tímové Sú dobrodružstvá, pri ktorých sa spolu zasmejete! :) Ako šiši domorodý a Egyptský tanec alebo šteklivý útok mravcov. Zábavné Sú dobrodružstvá, kde si spolu oddýchnete. Napijete sa pramenitej vody, zhlboka sa nadýchnete a dáte si uvoľňujúcu masáž. Oddychové

A game that connects builds and develops

Off We Go! is a cooperative movement game that connects kids and their parents. The activities in the game are based on Veronica Sherborne's Developmental Movement, storytelling and creative drama.

Magical Human Touch

Our game is all about cooperative physical contact. Pushing, pulling, crawling or climbing each other. Human touch has magical effects. It helps us grow emotionally, physically and cognitively. It also builds better relationships.

Movement full of play

Adventurous movement is not about exercise it is about having fun! Do not expect P. E. lesson. Playful movement is fun, various and based on free flow. It also takes in consideration your individual physical abilities.

All for one

Cooperation is the key! We are all one team. We get to go on all the adventures together. No one is the first nor the last, nobody wins nor loses. We are all equal partners. We learn to cooperate and respect each other.

One Great Story

Off We Go is a game story. The whole game is one great story full of adventures. Stories help to develop our mind. During the process of storytelling you are training your imagination, critical thinking and other skills.
