dude – It’s A Game Where You Say Dude
About ten years ago I had a “game” Christmas. I stocked up on games – dozens of games and all different sorts. At that time we instituted family game night and still do it to this day. Saturday nights – games, movies and pizza (or Chinese). The kids always look forward to it and so do we. We camp on weekends from May through October so those Saturdays are reserved for other activities but there are still rainy days where games are still our favorite way to spend time. Now the youngest of our kids are in their teens and they really don’t want to play Candyland anymore. Frankly after…

The Original Dinner Games and Personalogy – Family Fun!
Our kids are getting older and we are always looking for new ways to entertain them and have fun as a family. They no longer are interested in things like Chutes & Ladders and they can only play so many games of Backgammon. Additionally, we need family members of just about any age to be able to play due to family members with special needs and when our grandchildren are around. We have a multigenerational home – and we want everyone to have fun. The Original Dinner Games is perfect for everyone in our home – regardless of age. This game is designed to learn critical thinking, social skills, numbers…

uKloo – Early Reader Treasure Hunt Game
Learning to read can come quite easily for some children while for others – it is really difficult to just get going. I am not talking about children with learning disabilities – for some they need extra time to grasp the concepts and put it all together. After all the English language is not an easy one to pick up. When I was younger and learned to read – I went to Catholic school. We learned through a phonics program. Each of our five children have handled learning to read differently. Our youngest was a piece of cake and another child was a huge challenge. Now we have our grandson…
