A pink area appears below the red oval, with light blue curves (with black outlines) to left and right that resemble swans.

Below the pink area appears the main cover illustration, within a frame (black outline, white border, black outline). It shows four boys running to the right on a faint tan path, with a green lawn to the right, and buildings at rear, including a spire at right. The boy in front is wearing a brown jacket and knickers, dark brown socks to the knee, and light brown shoes, with black/blue hair and a brown cap. The boy to the left and behind is wearing a black/blue jacket, white shirt, black/blue tie, ligh blue pants, and black/blue shoes. The boy to the right of him is wearing a yellow hat, medium blue jacket, light blue knickers, and light brown long socks.

The game board is printed on a label that is attached inside the box bottom. It consists of a circle (black border) within which are radial circular ring segments alternating with a pink or white background. Most have no markings, but one pink one is marked "START" over "HERE", with the next one (white) showing an arrow, and the previous one (white) marked "FINISH" over "HERE". In addition to these 3 steps, there are 37 additional ones in pink or white that are unmarked.

Outside the race track ring, each corner has a light blue backgournd with a red triangle whose long side is curved.

The game comes with a white die with black spots plus 4 colored wooden movers: red, green, purple, and natural wood.
