THINK ‘TILL YOUR BRAIN BREAKS!

Weekends are great times that the whole family can bond and have fun together. Aside from watching movies, doing each other’s hair, painting nails, or cooking different edibles, the whole family can play CRANIUM BRAIN BREAKS.

This game is suggested for ages 8 and up and ideally for 2 players or more.

You know what they say “the more, the merrier” 🙂

This is an ideal game for the whole family on weeknights, or for a big group. In such a case, my daughter hasn’t had the chance to play this game as required. Though kids her age, four (4) can be supervised or coached by older players to guide them through out the game and still have fun at the same time. I am not surprised how my kiddo was able to somehow be an active participant, by just helping out and do her own thinking and advising. She especially loves to guess what the elders are acting out, molding/skulpting, sketching, and even the jumbling of letters though she blurts out just anything at times. Playing under time pressure puts the fun in it. This game has benefits too. This enhances the listening and the communication skills of the players, especially for kids. In addition to that, reading and writing skills are also made better. The visuospatial skills and being a cooperative team player is being practiced in this game. For kids, the imagination plays a big part in this game. It releases their creative ideas on how are they understanding what is on each activity cards.

The Cranium Brain Breaks game ticks both side of the brain. In the brain shaped container, 100 1-minute double-sided activity cards can be played. There are six multi-colored six-sided letter dice, one six-sided die, a small canister of clay, a small pad of paper, and a one minute sand timer. All the favorite Cranium characters are present like the Creative Cat, Word Worm, Star Performer, and Data Head. Each activity is given 1-minute to complete and then you can proceed to the next one. This is a great challenging game for parties and family nights.

This is a recreational activity that will have your group of friend, or family acting, sketching on paper, sculpting with the clay, and word puzzling as you compete to beat the timer. At times, my little princess and her cousins want me to play this game with them. These little Einsteins are very energetic and challenged in playing this game. Unfortunately, most of the adults rarely find the luxury to enjoy such game. To be honest, my daughter enjoys Brain Breaks despite the small components and the game itself is amusing to her. Kids really enjoy the interaction involved and the fun moments they get out of playing the game. Mothers like me, who are tired from work, we find time to grant their sweet demands to play with them. And you must admit, (whisper) it’s really fun.

I remember when my grandparents told me “a child’s favorite toy is their parent”. I believe that we have a responsibility as parents to give in to our children’s quirks.

Break-A-Leg!

Or should I say…

Break A Brain Nerve!
