Sleepy Time is a very basic game for young children Ages 4 - 8. You have a hand of 4 animal cards and 4 animal cards to choose from on the table (face up). The object is to find a pair of matching animals and put them to bed in your cardboard sleeping area of 6 beds. You must make a match with a card from your hand and a card on the table - you can not 'put to bed' pairs from within your hand. If you are unable to make a pair, you discard a card face up to the table. The first player to put six pairs of animals to bed first, wins. This game is easy to teach and moves very quickly to hold attention little one's spans. - BoardGameGeek
