This is an adorable game for kids (and families) that they played because it was a Kinderspiel des Jahres finalist for 2015. I think it could teach kids to be cautious and not just shove it on there. Kids (and adults) often don't think before they act. I was thinking about playing this with my game club and I know that kids would be hitting the table. It might not be on purpose, but many kids are wiggle worms and just not careful. I'm not sure how I would manage that. (Actually, my classroom is a trailer, so walking to hard can not things down!)
I loved the way they gave each other hard time in such a playful way. Also, and this often happens, I enjoy when Dave makes up songs about stuff. I tend to do that, too.
By the way, I don't think I could play this with my shaky hands. Dave said that the "pusher" helped him not be shaky, but I'm pretty sure it would just magnify my shaking.

Update: I found this on Amazon for $10 the other day (when I was trying to get $25 in my cart for free shipping) so I ordered it and it arrived today (on a Sunday and really fast for free shipping). I think my students will like it.
