    i dunno if they do it anymore but my favourite game was this lillipad game, you all had nets and the frogs used to jump from the lilipads and you had to catch them in the nets.

    It was phenominal.

    we've got pop up pirate too! my kids also like pesky pups you can have up to 4 players so you can join in too lol

    its a washing line which goes round and round with clothes hanging from it. the pups you have to bash to get them to jump up and grab the clothes off the line.. i havent explained it well so you might be better googling lol
    It only seems kinky the first time.. :A

    Hungry Hippos, Kerplunk, Guess Who
  • Mine like Buckaroo, mousetrap, frustration - My daughter wants Don't wake dad but I don't actually know if its any good, same with Elefun the elephant. Tesco have a special offer on games at the mo.

    like the look of pesky pups-it says from 4 years-would it be ok for a well coordinated 3 year old?

    DS , 4 loves to play hungry hippos, and 4 in a row, he has asked for hullaballoo for christmas, anyone got it and what is it like?
    He aslo loves pop up pirate and a game similar to frustration called ' gonna getcha', a sort of pop up dice game.
    If everyone cared and nobody cried, if everyone loved and nobody lied, if everyone shared and swallowed their pride then we'd see the day when nobody died.

    I recommend Hullaballoo...it's great! Bit of an active one though. You have to jump on pads that you've spread out around the room, and then the recorded player thing tells you to do things such as
    "crawl to a yellow pad"
    "tip toe to a food"
    "stomp to a circle"

    then it will tell you to stop, and the winner is the person on the piano, or the brocolli or the elephant etc.

    Also it interjects "Hullaballoo" moves where it tells you to put your nose on one, your knee on a yellow one, and do something else random.

    My DD got it when she was about 3 but I'd say it has quite a long lifespan.

    She also likes Buckaroo, Guess Who, Elefun etc
