A cooperative game designed to help children aged 3 and over<\/strong> develop social and emotional skills.<\/strong> The story begins in the village of Chivalà<\/em>, a place that has lost all its colours because kindness has become increasingly rare. Through kind words, thoughtful actions and shared activities, children work together to bring the village back to life, adding one colourful piece at a time to a large poster that gradually comes to life thanks to everyone’s contribution.<\/p>\n

    HOW TO PLAY<\/p>\n

    Players take turns rolling the die and drawing a card from the indicated deck: Word, Action, Goal or Joker. After completing the activity on the card, they add a coloured piece to the large Chivalà poster.
