The pieces are small, anywhere from 1/4 inch to 3/8 inch tall, and must be removed with the metal tweezers that are included with the game. While many different types of activities can be used in therapy, this blog focuses on off-the-shelf games and toys that are accessible to most. The beads are not edible and they are not suitable for children under the age of 14 years due to choking hazard. If you get too close and touch the edge of the metal-rimmed hole with the tweezers while you are attempting to extract the piece, a buzzer will go off.

There are numerous versions of the game Operation out there - Shrek, Star Wars, Toy Story - to name a few. I will say right up front that this game is not for the easily frustrated, as removing a piece may take several attempts, or those who don't like loud or shrill sounds.

Demonstrate how to push the piece around to line it up with the shape of the hole before trying to remove it. Players race to the rescue but they need to watch out for the buzzer, use the tweezers to try to remove the most pieces from Otto without getting buzzed, causing the game unit to light up. The holes are cut to the shape of the piece, so once the piece is dropped in it may move around and not be in the correct position to remove when it is time.
