Down the snakes, up the ladders.

Advantages: Fun to kill some time.
Disadvantages: See review

Snakes & Ladders is a simple game which children enjoy to play anywhere, anytime. HOW TO PLAY You begin at the "Start" square, and roll the dice and move your counter that many spaces. The first one to get to the "End" sqaure, is the winner. It's not all simple, because if you land on a snake, you have to go down to the square where the snake trail ends. But, if you're lucky, and land on the bottom of a ladder, you go up to the square where the ...
...VALUE FOR MONEY I brought my Snakes & Ladders game for £3.99. This is still about the average price and I think it's good value for money. OVERALL The game does get boring after a bit, but if you have no other games to play, it's fun! ...

Connect 4 with letters

Disadvantages: Rather hazy rules - complicated to score

...up my mind which catagory Line Word falls into, suffice to say that anyone that I have enticed to play it with me has not asked to play it again. The game is for 2 players aged 5years+ (my lovely son got a white pen to change this to 50+) ***** What you get ***** The pack contains: 36 plastic letter tiles in red and 36 plastic letter tiles in black A plastic playing board with a lift up frame and two storage compartments. There are no score ...
...formed in more than one line or column. To start the game one decides who goes first by flipping a coin (they don't provide this either.) Each player takes turns to drop one of their letters into the game frame. The first player drops a letter anywhere in the frame, The second player can drop their letter anywhere in the frame or next to the first players letter. What isn't made clear in the rules is how the letter is selected Is it at random unseen ...

Get down you dirty rascal!

Advantages: great game for little children
Disadvantages: none

...I saw that the excellent Orchard Toys company makes a game with the same name, I knew that this had to be a present for her third birthday. All Orchard toys are bright and colourful with most of their pieces made out of strong sturdy card which are very unlikely to be damaged by tiny little fingers! Also, the games seem to have a lot of educational value and it is the same with this game which should help little children with both their counting ...
...pieces in the game. Each player has their own board which has a winding path on it and consists of ten spaces. These board are placed strategically on the table so that they are all heading towards a colourful cardboard castle. The aim of the game is to be the first one to move their prince playing piece to the end of the path and reach the castle and therefore become king. The ultimate prize is to wear the special crown that is ready for the king! ...

Vamonos! Play Dora The Explorer's Adventure Game!

Advantages: Suitable for 3 years plus, durable, easy and challenging options to game play.
Disadvantages: The small back pack cards could easily get lost.

I was looking for a birthday present for my daughter for her fourth birthday, I wanted something she wouldn't play with once then not be bothered with any more, something educational and of course, something that was fun. Browsing the Argos catalogue I came across Dora ...
