My husband is sick and has a project deadline to complete. So we are spending more time at home, which leads to crazier kids. My husband says we have a case of cabin fever lately. This means that puzzles and board games are seeing more play time than usual. Perfect timing since I was sent a great couple of games to try out with my younger one. She doesn't often get new games that are geared towards her own age. Even better was that her 9 year old sister had no problem playing them with her! Let's check them out together.
*Disclaimer: I was sent these two games for free in exchange for holding a party and sharing my review. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions are strictly my own.*
Learning made fun
Skillmatics is all about games that provide fun learning! They are a leading global education brand that is led by a team of educators as well as game and product designers who are dedicated to creating innovative and holistic ways for children to learn through play. They are deeply committed to their mission of developing educational products that bring joy to children and help them reach their full potential.
For this review opportunity, I was sent Guess in 10 as well as Found It! the Indoor version. You can get these and other products of theirs from Amazon HERE.
Found It! is great for days when you are stuck inside as we have been. My husband has been sick with the flu, so we haven't been going to the park, playing tennis or swimming. Before that, and will be after that, he has a class project due that he has to finish. Which also translates to being stuck at home. I've made scavenger hunts before. But they were simply to find items. This version, which is geared towards learning for younger minds, includes more than just finding something. It asks critical thinking questions. I love having it be more in depth. My boys are 11 and 13, both of them wanted to play with their sisters on this one.
The Guess in 10 was the first one we tried out. I played with my 5 year old first. Then my 9 year old wanted to join in with us. We were laughing as we tried to guess each others animal cards.
I explained both games on my YouTube video. They are pretty easy to follow the directions on.
