Games for Kids

We love playing games as a family. It’s a great way to spend time together and give the kids some undivided attention.

Finding games for kids that are fun with a learning component is like winning the lottery!

A majority of educational games are a bit heavy on the education piece and light on the fun and creative side. Y’know how kids can just tell when you’re pushing an educational game because it looks a bit like school work?

However, these games we recently found from RoosterFin are the opposite. We started playing them and had so much fun. Only after realizing that they have some smart educational components, did we really see the genius of these games.

Lumpy Cubes

Until recently, we had two kiddos who couldn’t read. As most parents of young children know, it can be difficult to find games that are fun and keep their attention without a reading component.

Lumpy Cubes Hero Edition  is the current favorite game in our house. I wish we would have found this sooner!

The game is so simple, but the kids wanted to play it over and over. All they have to do is copy the pattern on the card and stack their cubes to match.

Lumpy Cubes is fantastic for learning because it teaches kiddos to be observant, recognize patterns, and helps with fine motor skills involved with stacking.

It’s fun because we can play this game as a family. It’s really nice because they can play it without adults or alone. Yaaasss!

That’s the key to a great game, if you ask me!

Wizard Roll

I should say first that our kiddos are a bit young for this game. The age suggestion is 7+ and we have a 4-year-old and a 6-year-old. When we had their 13-year-old sister try to play this with them while we were out, it didn’t go anywhere. They were a little confused while trying to learn.

Wizard Roll is another pattern-building game, but stepped up a notch.

You’re rolling the dice to collect the components for the spell on your spell card. It’s not difficult, but the rules are a little more complex and there are twists and turns if you roll the magic wand or have a bad roll.

This video for how to play Wizard Roll definitely helps simplify it all. Once you figure it out, I think kiddos under 7 can get it.

 

Of the two games, Lumpy Cubes is definitely our favorite. With the age of our kiddos, it’s definitely the easiest to play. We LOVE finding a game that is simple and doesn’t take much time to get into. The kids caught on so quickly and wanted to play over and over again.

This review got me thinking of how hard it is to find different games for non-readers. We were so happy to find Lumpy Cubes. Easy, fun, and a bit of learning while they play. We love it!
