Cookie Monster's Picnic

In the 1990s, Australian toy company JNH Toys produced Cookie Monster's Picnic, a Sesame Street game that teaches children about colors. In the game, players can take the role of Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Ernie or Oscar the Grouch, and travel around the game board for the chance to unlock Cookie Monster's "Magic Picnic Basket". 
On a player's turn, they spin the spinner, which lands on one of four colors. Then they move their character to the nearest space on the game board picturing an object with that color. Then they pick up one of the "Magic Discs" from a pile, and insert it into a slot in the picnic basket, with their color entering the slot first. If the picnic basket magically opens, then the player can take one of the cookies from the basked. If it doesn't, then the player's turn ends. 
The track of the game board loops around in a circle, and technically the gameplay wouldn't change at all if the players ignored the characters and the board, and just spun the wheel and then inserted the Magic Disc into the basket. Sometimes games are like that.
