Gift Ideas for Kids this Holiday Season

Games from Mattel

The boys got to do review for some games, which have now been added to our game nights, all I can say is there was some good laughs and lots of fun which they all loved

Squawk Game talk about laughs as you hear the Chicken squawk, oh my goodness it took a bit for the boys to set up the game to even start as they were too busy playing and laughing with the chicken when they got over the Giggling, squawking fun they finally started the game.

You have one chicken, one egg and the hen house, 1 dice, 1 egg token, 6 chick tokens, you get to roll the dice and whatever they number is you push down on the chicken and listen to the funny squawk if chicken flips and lays its egg you crack it open depending on what the token inside the egg shows if its broken egg you get nothing close up the hen and move on the the next player, if the token was a chick you get to collect a chick and then move on to next player, when all chicks are collected the player with the most wins

It really is a fun game for all ages, 4 and up with lots of giggles and squawks

Gas Out game is yet another game the boys loved of course it’s all about farts so they were being boys and loving it, the idea of this game is to play your card but don’t pass gas, this is like a fart cloud that will make some fart noises.

You want to put the fart cloud in the middle of the table while each player gets 3 cards, you push the cloud as many times as it says in the card if it does not pass the gas or fart then you’re still in and the next player goes, as soon as the cloud farts you’re out

There is some cards in the deck that will skip your turn or Reverse do can make it extra fun. The boys had a good laugh over this game passing the gas trying not to lol

KerPlunk was a great game to play with the boys as I remember playing that game so it was fun to see the joy they had playing something I knew, good laughs made family game night fun.

You have this tube that you get to put all these sticks in and then add the marbles to the top and slowly pull out a stick and try not to get marbles in your little numbered compartment, when a marble or a few fall you let them be, and then slowly move the tube to the next player the idea of the game is to have less marbles my youngest thought it was to have to most so he was excited that notice it was wrong but it was ok as we just played another round

You count all the marbles up at the end, the player with the least marbles wins, this is a great game for 2-4 players and says ages 5 and up but my 4 year had no problem playing when he understood it.

UNO card game is for ages 7 and up, we did play this as a family game and I was teamed up with Liam (4yrs old) so he understood that he could match the colour or the number but still needed some help which was ok

Uno there is 4 different colours, Red, Yellow, Blue and Green, all the cards have numbers on them or they have change colour, or pick up 2 or maybe even 4 but that is a change a colour as well, and there is a skip a turn and reverse.

Each player gets 7 cards, and you just play by colour or the number, if you don’t have it pick up a card, it will then passed to the next player, when you are down to your last card make sure you yell UNO, this game can be lots of fun can make them upset when they need to pick up cards and not get to play but it’s a game so all is meant for fun.

This holiday season when you are out buying gifts for the kids on your list, be sure to keep these ones in mind!
