Family Game Night

Find the Perfect Gift for Every Child

Our inspiration for all of our gift guides for Family Game Night comes from our own children and the children we work with. When L. found out he would be going to a new school (again) he was excited but nervous. He worried about fitting in and making new friends. We know that one of the best ways to make new friends is to have fun together. Shared enjoyment builds relationships and brings people together. So we decided to organize Friday Fun Days. We sent out an open invitation to the families of his new classmates to meet at a park to play games.

It was a total success! The families got to know each other, the kids made friends with each other and we found some awesome games and toys that have been kid-tested and approved.

Appealing to Children's Sense of Humor

Don't Step In It is sure to appeal to the younger set's sense of humor. Mold the play dough into poop, blindfold the children and spin to see how many steps they need to take through the poo path.

LEGO Games the Kids Can Play Together

LEGO combined with Harry Potter? What could be better? Designed to enchant Harry Potter fans of all ages, the Harry Potter Hogwarts LEGO Game allows you to build your very own Potter-themed game board. This family-friendly board game pits up to four players against each other, in a race to turn in their homework first. Along the way, players will have to face shifting stairs, secret passageways, and wizard duels. And since the game board is fully customizable, every single play-through is a new experience. Ages 8-14.

Kids who like to play Guess Who will really enjoy the What Am I? Buildable LEGO Guessing Game. Kids age 7 and up can play without adult help. Younger children may need some help to build the game board.

LEGO The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey 3920 is buildable game with a fun twist on a memory game for 2 to 4 players. The game is all about finding the missing Dwarves who have gotten lost in Hobbiton, using hints left by Gandalf the Grey and some Hobbits to help you search. If you are up to the challenge you can transform the board during the game, testing your memory skills to the max. Once the board is built it is easy to store and quick to take out to play again.
