The
game where little kids get rid of the monsters for good!
Go Away Monster! is the game where little kids get rid of the monsters
for good. Players reach into a bag to feel for puzzle pieces that fit a
bedroom game board. Sometimes players pull out furniture pieces—but
sometimes they wind up with a monster. When that happens, they take charge
and toss it into the center of the circle—some call it the monster
pit—and yell, "Go away monster!" Some players even throw the
monsters right out of the room, and that's okay.
Being afraid of monsters is a normal part of growing up. One way that
children are able to master this fear is by participating in narrative
play or by playing games like Go Away Monster! that allow them to take
control of the monsters. Go Away Monster! encourages kids to boss the
monsters around, but it also let's them experience some of the
apprehension and excitement in deciding what is real and what is
imaginary.
The game teaches young children shape recognition, cooperation,
competence and boosts self-esteem, and is designed to be played with
parents and friends.
