Games for Ages 3 to 7

Our Family Pastimes' games will not be back in stock before the holidays.

Snowstorm

Skills of decision making, communications, and creative thinking get a work out when a winter storm hits the city, and people have places to go. Can the roads be kept clear and people brought safely to their destinations? Deep snow? Bad ice? We decide when and where to do some plowing or spreading of sand. The weather keeps changing, so we have to be alert! Each game is different and exciting. Don't get stuck on Fifth Avenue, Dad!  

1 to 12 players, ages 5-8.

Berries, Bugs & Bullfrogs

Players form as many good Berry Patches as they can, with the help of the friendly Bullfrogs. Six tiles have only Berries on them. Six have only Bugs. Eight have both Berries and Bugs. The Bug shown is a Slug, one of the few insects that damage Strawberries. Each of the 12 Bullfrogs can eat one bug. The basic mathematical skills of adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing all get a workout. Four different cooperative tile games. Fun!

The Secret Door 

Valuables are stolen, and have to be found before midnight in this mystery game of memory and logic. Children enjoy figuring out the mystery of what is behind the Secret Door. Because of the co-operative principle, everyone is part of a team that  discusses ideas and shares strategies. Each game is different, exciting and tricky. That's why adults like playing along!

Max

We must help get the little Creatures safely home before Max, the Tomcat, catches them. In an exciting way, chldren learn logic, consultation and decision making. An important issue to discuss is also raised: we don't like Max catching those Little Ones, yet we recognize that he is a natural hunter. How do we resolve this in our minds and hearts?

SKUNK!!!

The Adventures of Harley

Our farm dog Harley runs so fast that cars have to chase him. He also has a great sense of humor and likes to hide and then later bring back our Favorite Things. In this adventure game, we all help Harley find and bring back Home as many of the Favorite Things as we can. But he will have to look out for fellow prowlers such as the Bear, Raccoon, Skunk, Porcupine and some nasty Briar Patches. We may have to call in the Vet!

Caves and Claws

A fantasy archaeology game of action and adventure featuring elements of suspense, careful planning, teamwork, danger and humor. The game has three parts, First, we have to hack out the Paths to the abandoned Caves and Temples. Second, using the connected paths, we search for and discover the Treasures. Finally, we must return safely to Base Camp with what we gathered. Clear paths in the jungle, find treasures, and think our way around obstacles to bring them back to camp.

Funny Face

A hilarious, quick-moving pantomime game that kids just love. Players move around the board, helping each other bring all the things needed for a party. Command Cards get turned, describing an action to be done or something to pretend to be. Because you keep up your mime until the next turn, many funny interpretations happen at once. Everyone stays involved with so many funny things happening at once. We advise parents and teachers to join in! Rules for a mime show included.

3 to 18 players, ages 3-8.

Harvest Time

One of their top rated games! First, gardens are planted. Then everyone rolls the special die to do the harvesting which must be done before winter comes. Will we get all the crops in? Maybe, if we remember to help each other out. A simple but challenging game for beginners.
