    How old are they?

    Hmm...to put it simply:

    Blocks of different shapes fall to the bottom. You have to fill out a whole row of shapes to clear them from the screen, and stop the shapes from reaching the top of the screen.

    It is best to clear many lines all at once, so try to line up pieces so they can fill out many rows at once. The only way to get a "Tetris" (a four line clear) is by using a long narrow piece. So they should try to fit the blocks together, and leave one space for that piece when it appears.
