Creationary by Lego

As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we are loving games these days. For Christmas, the kids received Creationary - another Lego game. It's very similar to Pictionary. You roll the dice and choose a card. On the card you select the image from the category you rolled. Your job is to build the item on the card and the other players have to guess what you built. There are three levels of difficulty. This game could be played for as long or as little as you like. Lots of fun and great fun for a dinner party!

Harry Potter Lego Game

In the last few months we've really delved into games. The Harry Potter Lego Game is one of our all time favourites. We play it almost every day - for now! It's for ages 8+ but our 6 year old has no problem with it. I think it's more fun if you've read at least the first book (which we have), but not necessary. It can be played in as little as 20 minutes which is great for a quick game before bedtime. I also like that the designers have encouraged players to change the rules of the game and have provided game pieces and ideas for changing the rules. This will keep the game fresh and exciting.

Mastermind

We've recently re-discovered the game "Mastermind". I used to play this game all the time when I was young. My Dad and I would each have a board. We'd even double or triple up on colours to make it really tricky! The kids love it and it's a great game to play while we're waiting and watching at aikido and gymnastics.

Glogster

I just recently found this site. It's free and allows you to create online, interactive posters. Good for individuals and can also be set up for a class. I haven't tried it with my class but have plans to in the very near future. Will post the results when I have them!
