Velkommen til gårds! Vi

skal ha en fest til helga

og jeg håper at du kan

hjelpe til!

Fang de røde og gule

eplene som faller fra treet,

og legg dem i den rette

tønna!

Apples picked: 0 Time: 2 seconds

Å kjære! Stormen blåser alle

våre flotte kyllinger til værs!

Hjelp meg å fange dem og putt

dem på riktig sted

Å se på de flotte stjerneskuddene! Det

ville vært flott å pynte med dem på

gården! Tror du at du kan hjelpe meg å

fange dem før de treffer bakken?

Du må levere inbydelsene

ved å gå de skrittene som

kreves for å nå hver enkelt

av gjestene.

You did 7500 steps!!

Fantastisk jobb! Dere har klart å

levere 7 innbydelser! Bare

fortsett – vi ønsker at dette skal

bli en storslagen fest!

Du klarte det! Takk for

innsatsen og nå skal vi

feste!
