Ring Toss Game

I saw this fun game on a friend's blog a few months ago, and I've wanted to make it with O ever since. It's very easy to make.
1st fill a couple (or 3) bottles with dry rice.

Then make rings out of pipe cleaners.

Then play the game. We practiced saying the color words in Spanish as we threw the rings.

Learning to Play "Go Fish"

O has expressed an interest in learning to play Go Fish lately (evidently she's seen her older cousin play the game), so today we gave it a try. I found these cards by School Zone at the thrift store for 50 cents, and they were perfect for O's 1st Go Fish game. We had a lot of fun, and she caught on quickly. I think Go Fish will definitely be added to our list of favorite games for Family Game Night :)

Family Game Night

Family game night has turned into family game morning, game afternoon, etc. O received lots of fun games for Christmas, and we have been playing them nonstop! Zingo and Keep it Steady are our favorites, but we've also enjoyed Count & Cook by Cranium Bloom, Seek and Find by Cranium, and the Tea Party Game by Eeboo.

To play the Seek and Find game you have to assemble the puzzle first. You then draw cards which give you an item or items to find. Once you find the items, you circle them with a dry erase marker. This game is actually somewhat difficult, and there are a couple of items that we still haven't found!



The illustrations for the Tea Party game are really pretty :) To play this game you spin the spinner to obtain tea party items. The first person to gather all of the party items wins the game. It's fun and simple!




Just so you know...I linked to the games at Amazon, so you could see them if you are interested. However, the prices for the Cranium games are VERY inflated. I paid 3.98 for the Seek and Find game and about 7.00 for the Count and Cook game. Both games were on sale at Target. They are both a lot of fun, but not worth the prices on Amazon :)
