Spin Master Games Review

Thanks to Spin Master and Tryazon we were able to try three very fun "board games" these last few week. I use the term board loosely because none of the three games actually had a board that you play on! The first game is called the sock game. This can be a two player to multiple player game. The object of the game is to find items in a long sock using just one hand before someone on the other team is able to find it. This game can be played by young and old and the socks are super cute! As in if they weren't for a game I would totally wear them. This is a fun game and the kids really enjoy it but grandparents can get in on the fun too.

The second game is called Reverse Charades- This was probably the family favorite of the three games- it is like charades minus the fact that there is only one person not acting the words out and the rest of the team is trying to help the person guess. This can turn quite hilarious as since there is no speaking allowed it can be hard for people to know how to work them out together. We had many laughs when we played this game. It was even funny making this collage! I laughed so hard.

The final game is Headbands- I had heard of this game but had never played. This is where team members put a card on their head so that everyone else can see it and then have to try to guess what the object is, with words like apple, cup, bear and dog I thought it would be a bit easier to guess but it often took several rounds for a player to get one correct. We really enjoyed all three of these games and are very happy to have added them to our collection.

#TinkeringForAll #Tinkeringlabs Review and Pictures!

I had never heard of Tinkering Labs before we were able to host this party for Tryazon. These kits retail for about $50 and they come with several tools and gadgets to build things with.  I thought they would be more like lego kits where kids would follow directions but they are more about trying to have kids design things on their own and seeing what they can come up with giving only a challenge card for them to try to find some inspiration. A couple of the kids thought this was too hard and weren't too interested in trying to find a working product after failing several times. But my nine year old daughter stuck with it and made a working product! I think these kits are perfect for kids who want to be challenged and enjoy problem solving. It was for sure different than what these kids were used to since they had no directions to follow. I plan to donate both of my kits to the STEM club at my children's school and see what they can come up with! Thank you Tryazon and Tinkering Labs for this opportunity!
