Reach in the bag to find the puzzle pieces that fit your bedroom game board. Try to distinguish between the different puzzle pieces and decide which one feels like the size and shape of a piece you need. If you pull out a monster, don't be scared... You take charge, and the monsters will take off! Being afraid of monsters is a normal part of growing up. Go Away Monster! encourages kids to conquer that fear by acting it out and taking control. It also lets them experience some of the apprehension and excitement in deciding what is real and what is imaginary. Ages 3 and up
Go Away Monster! has 3 videos from 3 creators: 2 how-to-play guides and 1 playthrough. They date from 2021 to September 2025.
To learn the rules, start with "Go Away Monster! | Board Game Songs for Kids | Sing-Along How to Play" by Ambie Valdes, which runs 2 min.
To see it played, watch "A 3 year old plays Go Away Monster" by Bower's Game Corner.
