For a game-loving family, this Christmas we hit the JACKPOT! Ca-ching! Santa and my parents really knew what kinds of games our kiddos and the big kiddos (that being my husband and me) would really love. Games are probably our favorite way to spend family time. We are all
somewhat extremely competitive and I can already see that brewing in our children. (Flash-forward to our 4 year old smugly grinning at her Daddy as she lays down a "skip" card in Uno.) We literally spent hours laughing, conniving, and secretly keeping a running tally in our minds of who had the most wins. I think I must sadly admit defeat to my husband--I WILL beat him at Boggle or die trying!
We played some really great games, but in an effort to save your and my sanity of an extremely long post, I'm just going to tell you about our Top 3. Drum roll please....And the winners are, in no certain order...
Why we love this game:
- Everyone can play, even our 4 year old and have a legitimate chance of winning (parents-you don't even have to let your kids win!)
- The teacher in me loves the number sense that is built with this game. My little Peanut was getting pretty good at recognizing if the answer should be a 1, 2, or 3 digit number.
- It doesn't take very long!!
