It's family time tonight!
Much like the much-loved game Apples to Apples, Sounds Like a Plan is a game where the “dealer” picks the best plan for various activities or problems. There are a few twists, including a game board to help you keep score, and a die to introduce variations – Best Advice, Worst Advice, Grandma’s Advice (Best Advice a Grandma Would Give), and so on. It’s a fresh enough take to be completely fun, but similar enough to other games to be very easy to pick up.

Better than the Pick Up Sticks you’re probably used to, these Melissa and Doug Pick Up Sticks are hand-crafted from solid wood and stored in a heirloom quality box. Not only is it a fun developmentally appropriate game for the whole family, but it’s beautiful and suitable for display!

Perfect for the littlest of gamers, Hi Ho Cherry-O is one of those strategy-less games that’s more about counting and cheering than about winning and losing. And that’s perfect for the 3+ year-olds that this game is made for. My 3 year-old loves it!

One of the popular new games to come out this year, Bubble Talk is like Apples to Apples, except with pictures. We here at Family Game Night LOVE Apples to Apples (and Apples to Apples Junior), so we know that Bubble Talk is going to be a hit, too!

Hyper Dash Extreme is just like the original Hyper Dash that we all loved so much, except it’s more EXTREME! Okay, seriously this is a fun game. Players basically have to run around and tag objects as fast as they can, but there are some added bits of game play. Sometimes they have to do some quick math calculations before they can make a tag, sometimes the targets fly out of the controller in a random direction, adding to the fun!

Not only is kick croquet fun for the whole family (including your littlest runners), it’s a great way to burn off some energy after dinner.

We featured the Batik game last week, and then found the new version for younger children, called Batik Kid. It works just like regular Batik, but the shapes are fun undersea creatures. It looks like a great game for those 4 and up.
