Before there were video games, there were board games.
For centuries, playing games has been a fun bonding experience for families around the globe.
Sure, video games garner a lot of attention with their incredible graphics and action-packed themes, but they’re no match for gathering with family over a good, old-fashioned interactive game.
In fact, my kids can’t get enough of the new Flying Pigs game by Cra-Z-Art. As little plastic pigs whirl around a clear, motorized globe, players try to help the farmer get his piggies back to the barn. By using colorful wands, players try to catch as many flying pigs as they can.
The Flying Pigs game is suitable for children ages 4+ and is available here, for $20.
Not only is the game fun for the whole family, it also helps with hand-eye coordination for young children who are still mastering those skills. While catching plenty of piggies is the name of the game, don’t catch the white one! If you do, all your piggies get placed back into the globe putting you in a not-so-good position. The player with the most piggies/points at the end is the winner!
My son absolutely loves this game. He’s got this piggy catching thing down pat! As a parent, it’s such a pleasure watching my kids enjoy the simple things in life. With all the tablets, gadgets and digital technology that bombard children today, it’s refreshing to just go back to the basics.
This non-tech game is a prime of example of classic fun that creates lasting memories for the entire family. Oh, and who ever said pigs don’t fly?
What is your family’s favorite board game? How often do you plan game nights?
This game looks really fun! I can’t wait to play it with my nieces and nephews. We love to play board games together, and this one looks like a really good time. Thanks for such a detailed and informative (and fun!) post on it.
