Christmas Ideas

Hookey

BulziBucket

Family games are a great Christmas gift idea. Here are two that we've enjoyed playing this year:

1. Hookey. With six soft rings for each player to throw at the board you don't have to worry about damage to your walls. There are several different ways to play this game. It's fun for the whole family. 

2. BulziBucket. With three buckets to get your three soft hacky sack type balls into, hopefully you will connect with one of them! The smaller the bucket the more points you score. The buckets slide into each other to pack up and take with you in a bag. The concept is simple but that doesn't mean it gets old quickly! The only con is the price. It sells for around $60 on Amazon right now.

3. For card or table top games you might consider: 

Monopoly Deal. It's a quick card game. I know, that's hard to believe since the regular Monopoly game is anything but quick! Try it-I bet you'll enjoy it! 

Bananagrams. This game is like Scrabble but instead of taking turns everyone makes words with the tiles in front of them. You have to keep taking tiles every time someone uses all his or her tiles. Once the draw pile is gone the first person to use all his or her tiles by making (legitimate) connected words wins!
