  3. Finds the other sheet of the same color on the playing field that contains the answer to the task. Moves Robbie to him. With a correct answer, the robot heads to the prize box. The child takes one of the reward cards. If a mistake is made, the teacher helps with guiding questions to the correct solution.
  4. Actions are repeated until all tasks are solved.                                                                                                                                                                   
  5. The game ends when all tasks are correctly solved and the child has collected all the cards “Well done, Lover!”.
