Last weekend we spent a lot of time playing this wonderful game together as a family. Daddy first thought it would not be for him, but after seeing how excited Isabelle was, he agreed. It can be played with 2 - 4 players and there are two versions. One for younger children, which we finished up playing, and one for the older ones. First you spread out all the cards of the body parts (with the coloured spots sides up). Then the youngest player spins the spinner and according to the colour he can choose a card matching the colour on the spinner. The winner is the first player who collects all 8 cards on his game board. First we tried the harder version, where you have to guess first what is going to be on the card and if you guess correctly, than the card is yours, but it just seemed too difficult for Isabelle. We finished up having a lot of fun time playing the easier version, more suitable for her age group. It's a great game for practicing body parts, colours and memory.

I'm already following you and I've RT! My lad actually loves head, shoulders, knees and toes! But he loves hide and seek best.
ReplyDeleteIt's hilarious - he thinks you can't see him when he puts his hands over his eyes, so he always wins! ;)

ReplyDeleteMy son loves to play hide and seek in our house, but he doesn't quite 'get' the game yet! He'll 'hide' just under a cushion or somewhere very open and giggle away to himself, or if he's seeking, he'll look at where the person's going! bless him!!!

ReplyDeleteThere is an 11year age gap between my toddler and the youngest of her big sisters. My toddlers favourite game is 'Disney Trivial Pursuit'. She doesn't have any idea about the rules but loves to move the disney themed counters around the board and watch the dvd question clips when her very accommodating big sisters play!

ReplyDeleteMy son is 15 months old and likes nothing better than a good game of "Round and Round the Garden!" Instead of doing it on his hands, we do it on his very ticklish belly which results in fits of giggles!! xxx

ReplyDeleteMy 2 year old daughter's favourite game is to pretend to go to sleep, then open her eys and say "good morning". She does it again and again! She also loves her talking and singing puppy.

I'm alreay a follower and on twitter. My 3yo's favourite game is hide and seek. He's giggles too much to be any good at it but he loves it.
ReplyDeleteHiya. I am already a follower and I will retweet in a moment.
ReplyDeleteWe love Orchard toys, they are the best fun for learning and playing at the same time. The ons that the kids come back to time and time again is the shopping game. The girls also really like the Noahs ark matching game.
Thanks, Mich x
