🎮 Detailed Explanation of Two Ways to Enjoy the Sea: From the Ocean to the Fish Shop

【Mode 1: Fun Fishing Competition】

This mode focuses on reaction time and color matching. Parents can guide their children to observe the shapes of the fish and place them in the corresponding bases.

1. Scene preparation: Arrange the dividing strips, cover the fishing plate, and place the 24 marine creatures into the scene according to their shapes.
2. Game rules: Players take turns rolling the dice and find the target based on the color rolled.
3. Interaction mechanism: If the fish you catch is the same color as the fish in your basket, you can keep it; if the color is different, you need to give it to the player whose color it is.
4. Advanced Challenge: A coin reward system can be added for children aged 3 and above to increase the competitiveness and fun of the game.

[Mode 2: Fish Shop Management Simulation]

By flipping the scene, it instantly transforms into a professional fish shop! This model represents the best practice scenario for financial literacy education.

1. Shop setup: Refer to the instructions to set up the fish shop scene, place the fish baskets on the "ice plate", and arrange the small fish by color.
2. Trading Interaction: Each player is given 20 coins. Players take turns rolling the dice to determine which fish to buy based on the resulting shape.
3. Trading Practice: Refer to the fish shop price list, insert the correct number of gold coins into the coin slot, and complete the "buy and sell" action.
