When you visit the Educational Insights online web site you will find that it’s really easy to navigate. The web site has three tabbed categories which are the sections for Parents, Teachers and Classroom Jeopardy. Since I am a mother and grandmother…I could spend hours just browsing around their parent’s section of the web site.
My Review: Today I am reviewing “The 7 Habits of Happy Kids Game” from the author of the #1 best-selling series of 7 Habits Books. This educational game is for ages 6 to adult and for 3-7 players. It comes nicely packaged in a sturdy box with cute graphics on it for shelf storage.
The Game Includes: 1 game board, 7 player pieces, 7 token holders, 121 playing cards, 61 tokens, 1 pair of Ear-Resistibles bunny ears, 1 die.
How To Play The Game: Select a character, the characters are based on The 7 Habits of Happy Kids book. Roll the die and move that number of spaces around the game board. Listen to a question (from the playing cards) and follow the instructions on the card to respond with a personal story, drawing or even a song. Place the token that corresponds to the habit your question addresses in your holder (the holders are shaped like big red #7’s). Be the first person to fill your holder with tokens from each habit and you win the game!
We decided to play this game with my 3 nephews who range in ages 9 through 12. We read the instructions that are included with the game and in a matter of minutes we were all playing the game. It took us approximately 40 minutes from start to finish but we had 5 players so it goes pretty quickly. We had a lot of fun listening to the boy’s stories that went along with the habit questions printed on the playing cards. It was a great way for us to get to know them a little bit more and we were pretty amazed at their stories that they shared with us! I will admit, none of the boys would wear the included bunny ears though!
We had a lot of fun playing this game with them and they really enjoyed the game. Matter of fact, they took the game home with them as Cam is having a sleepover for his Birthday next weekend and he wants to use the game at his sleepover party.
