Our family recently received
a fun game from Thinkfun called Moove & Groove that is just about perfect
for toddlers but is also fun for kids of older ages too! According to Thinkfun,
the game is “Designed to inspire movement, creativity, laughter and learning,
it’s a fun way to introduce the basics of game play and the joy of movement
without the pressure of competition. The rules are simple—toss the plush cube
to determine color, choose a matching colored card and perform the given move.
There’s no right or wrong way to boogie—it’s all up to interpretation—so
players can use their imagination while improving balance, coordination and
flexibility. The perfect game to build confidence and celebrate all the things
your little one does so well! [For ages
18 months and up [and] includes large washable plush cube with storage pocket
for cards and 48 dance move cards-8 in each
category.”
I had high hopes of my then
15 month old twins really playing with this game…but they were too young. However,
they LOVED the plush, multi-colored game cube! They both would tackle it and
roll around with it, proving that the game’s design really is captivating for
children. So in order to get a true feel for how kids reacted to this game I enlisted
the help of my friend’s 6 year old daughter. She loved it! This sort of game,
with easy instructions, no hard and fast rules, and fast moving fun is
apparently exactly what kids her age love.
I think one of the greatest
things about this game is that it really encourages the imagination and it get
kids active. I worry so much about my children becoming mindless zombies glued
to electronic devices (like me) and I am glad to see active games like this
geared toward younger kids! Another benefit of this game is that it can help
kids learn colors, direction, body parts, etc. It truly seems to be a beneficial
and educational game.
Another great quality is
that this game doesn’t require batteries! Also, it is so easy to take along
with you. I can just see moms entertaining kids in waiting rooms and doctors’
offices with Move & Groove. This is a great low cost, low noise, low stress
family fun item.
