Childish Games : )


I recently started working with kids.
This amazing opportunity gives me a great
reason to revisit some old faves:

1. Clue
2. Candyland
3. Chutes & Ladders
4. Hungry Hungry Hippos
{haven't #4 played yet, but want to}

What games did you love as a kid?
Which ones would you like to bring back to game night now?

Mom: Thanks for letting me win & playing with me even
after I {sometimes} threw the board on the floor.

Kids I work with now: I promise to let you win
& never ever throw the board on the floor.

Guess Who was always fun. I had Pay Day also, kinda like a shorter version of Monopoly. Umm, Mall Madness, Life, Scrabble. Those are the ones that come to mind, oh and Clue was one of my all time faves!

Monopoly was a favorite of mine except it could last soooo long sometimes you had to start with a time limit on it!! I always loved winning!

Hungry hungry hippos is so much fun!! I also loved Hi-Ho Cherry-O, every one you listed (especially Clue) and Monopoly. I was always the dog :) And I loved the game Operation. The wishbone got me every time though!! Grrr.... Oh and Mall Madness... I could probably list favorite games forever!!
