NEW GAME ALERT! We tried this game out at my house this weekend and we fell in love with it…I think you will, too! It’s called Bear Hunt and it’s a wooden game board created by the company Melissa and Doug. What makes it special? First, it’s wooden, so it’s durable! The pieces are all part of the game board so you won’t lose anything. Second, it’s fun! If you have played the game GUESS WHO? you will understand the basic rules of this game. The difference is, you won’t have to juggle loose pieces and since this is a smaller board the games moves much more quickly. Third, it is educational. It helps develop critical thinking skills, as kids have to figure out which bear they are hunting. It can help with colors and processing, too. In case you were wondering…I lost all three games this weekend against my seven year old, and I really did try to win!
