Hello my little ones,
How exciting! A new school year. New supplies, new clothes, seeing old friends, it is a lovely time,
isn’t it? A little bit sad though? Do you think that your family camping fun is over for the year? Well,
it doesn’t have to be. There are loads of places that your parents might take you for week-end
getaways this Fall and maybe even in the winter. Your camping experience might be a bit different
during these seasons though. Maybe a little more inside time than during the summer months but, isn’t
that just nice and cosy? All snuggley-buggley in your RV, playing games, watching movies, reading
books. Didn’t you miss campfires this summer? They were just too dangerous but, maybe, you’ll be
able to start having them again in a few weeks.
My grandchildren love to come to visit in October because they know that we’ll get to bring out the board games
that I stash away for rainy days and longer nights. You might want to show your parents this list and, if you don’t
already have some of the games here, maybe they could stock up? So, enjoy your Fall and Winter, make the most of
your family fun time! TTFN….
- Connect Four
This classic kids’ board game of Connect Four is
reminiscent of Tic Tac Toe, with some changes. It is played
vertically, and the aim of the game is to get 4 checkers in a row
first, while preventing your opponent from doing the same.
This is a wonderful board game for your kids as well as for you.
- Scrabble
The classic and all time best selling board game Scrabble
needs no introduction at all. But since this is a descriptive list,
here goes! The aim of the game is to make the most scoring
words, crossword style, as possible from 7 letter tiles, on the
Scrabble board. This makes a fantastic kids’ board game to
teach them a lot about vocabulary.
- Battleship
Battleship, a classic favorite for kids and adults alike,
is a game where skill and luck play an important part in
determining naval strategy. The aim of the game is to conceal
the location of your ships from your opponents, while
attempting to figure out the location of your opponent’s ships!
Battleship is very popular as a kids’ board game.
- Sorry
This board game of Sorry offers players the use of a lot of
strategy and and a little luck to get their game pieces from the
Start field to the Home field on the board. Players can send
each others pieces back to the Start. The uniqueness of this
board game is that there is no dice, rather players have to draw
cards, with numbers that allow certain actions, and also the
dreaded “Sorry” cards. Kids love Sorry, and this kids’ board
game is a classic.
- Pictionary Jr.
This classic game is another favourite with kids and adults
alike. Players have to select a card, and attempt to draw the
word so that their team can guess which word it is. In the kids’
board game version, the words to be drawn are easier.
- Yahtzee
Yahtzee is the game of dice. Five dice are thrown at the
same time. A scoring card has to be filled out with the results,
with different combinations getting different points. The
most highly regarded combination of dice is five of a kind, or
Yahtzee! A great way to spend some time and have fun! Kids
love Yahtzee!
- Boggle Jr.
This fun filled and educational kids’ board game from
Parker Brothers is a sure way to have some fun! The kids board
game includes letter cubes, with alphabets on all 6 faces. The
aim of the game is to make as many words as you can from the
letters that are currently displayed within the 3 minute time
interval and defeat the other players.
- Pop-O-Matic Trouble
This classic game has a pop-o-matic dice, clear globe with
dice in the center, which when pressed rolls the dice. The race
around the board to the finish is pretty exciting! An excellent
kids’ board game to have some serious fun.
