Guess in 10 Animal Planet

This is basically like a 20 Questions type of animal guessing game, but instead of having to think of something for the others to guess, you have a game card that tells you an animal and some hints to give the other players. We changed the rules a bit so we could play a 3-sided game instead of having two teams. We played about half of the cards. Sam got a bit competitive!

Verdict: This is not really a game you can play over and over again (because eventually you'll know which animals are in the deck, along with the hints that go with them), but we should be able to play at least once more. And it might be fun game to play with the grandlings in a few years. 

Pictionary Jr

I think everyone knows the concept of Pictionary (you quickly sketch a picture and people try to guess what you're drawing); the Junior version just has easier things or concepts to choose from. I don't ever think about how difficult it is to quickly draw a recognizable object from memory, but a game like this makes it obvious.

Verdict: We all had a lot of fun with this one. It's a keeper. 

Kids Scavenger Hunt 3 Pack!

We did the At Home pack (#1). All of the suggested items to find were easily accessible (which can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how much of a challenge you want). It involved a lot of running all over the house and shouting, and it's kind of difficult to determine a winner, but it was mildly fun. 

Verdict: it's more of a little kid's game, but we will keep it to play with the grandlings.
