How to play "Geokont" Voskobovicha?
Vyacheslav Voskobovich’s educational games are very popular among teachers and parents.

However, not immediately parents can figure out how to play in the "Geocont" by V. Voskobovich and correctly present it to their children.
What is the constructor "Geocont"
The name of the game "Geocont" is formed from the phrase "geometric contour". The designer is a plate made of plywood. A film with coordinates is pasted on this plate and 33 nails of plastic of different colors are fixed. In the center there is a black carnation, the others are arranged in color groups, except for white carnations from above.
V. Voskobovich used in the designer the laws of optics, saying that white color consists of 7 colors. A ray of white, falling on the central black carnations, splits into 7 colors of the rainbow.
This property helps not only to acquaint children with basic colors, but also makes it easier for children to become familiar with the coordinate system. The rays have a letter designation in accordance with the color, where "B" is white, "K" is red, "O" is orange, "Z" is green, "D" is blue, "C" is blue, "F" is Violet.
Carnations in the rays are also numbered from 1 to 4. With the help of this, the search for the necessary carnation occurs by its designation, for example, B1, Z4, and G2. Included with the designer is a set of multi-colored rubber bands, a manual with illustrations, in which creative games of different difficulty levels are proposed.
A detailed description of the game, see the following video.
