Congratulations to our winner: Jessica

I Can Do That! Games are a great way to foster self-confidence in your young children while they are laughing and and having fun. They can play board games just like older kids – that are designed for things that they can do!

There is a full line of Dr. Seuss games that will have your little ones getting a kick out of being silly, and learning in the process.

The latest games feature everyone’s favorite monkey, Curious George. Or, as my 2 year old calls him, “Doo-is Dorge!”

I had a chance to play with one of the games myself – The “Curious George Hide and Seek Zoo Game.”

It’s designed for children ages 4-8, so it’s a bit advanced for Braden. I can tell you, however, that it comes with a yellow Walkie-Talkie, which he immediately commandeered and used as his own personal telephone on which to have important discussions with The Man in the Yellow Hat.

Once he took a nap, I set up the game and tested it out. You basically follow the prompts given by the Walkie-Talkie and a spinner on the game board to collect cards and earn points. It’s very easy to understand, and offers problem solving, turn-taking, and direction-following opportunities. The most fun happens when The Man in the Yellow Hat freaks out about the animals escaping. This is when everyone else slaps on an animal mask and hides, while the person in charge of the Walkie-Talkie must find them before the music stops (2 minutes).

This part of the game actually encourages running around. When was the last time a board game gave your kids an opportunity to problem solve AND get some exercise?

The game is fun, exciting, and educational. And I have a feeling that the rest of the products at I Can Do That! Games are similarly entertaining and enlightening.

If you’d like to score one of these games for yourself, head over to the I Can Do That! website and have a look at the games. Then, in the comments section here, tell me which game you like the best. Your comment earns you an entry.
