Games To Play With During Family Time

Lisa Estall — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 19:28:00 GMT

I received a sample of the Gather 'Round Restaurant Game recently to review. What you get is not a board game with pieces but cards with questions relating to mealtime. There are almost 100 games to play with while you wait for your meal at a restaurant or at home. There is a push-button light but it doesn't emit any sound. The light stops by itself at a question on each card.

Created by familyfuntime.com, this is recommended for ages 5 and up. I'm not sure how many people would want to bring a game to a restaurant but for home, it would probably be more fun for the older kids.

The price is $24.95 and sold at familyfuntime.com

It's just like Jenga, but it's a cactus and made from plantation rubberwood. And it's loads of fun for youngsters. Build their imagination and sense of balance with this Plan Toys Balancing Cactus Game. It's just challanging enough to be fun, but not too hard to be discouraging. $19.99 at Moolka. Ages 3+
