Cranium Hullabaloo

Winner of the 2003 and 2006 Toy of the Year Award, Cranium's Hullabaloo would make a wonderful gift for the little ones on your list. Besides being fun, it is also educational. Although, it is recommended for ages 4 and up, it can still be fun for younger kids to play along. They may not be able to participate fully, but will enjoy taking part in the fun. Hullabaloo is a cross between many different games; Twister, Hopscotch, Simon Says, and Musical Chairs. The game comes with16 different colored pads with pictures and words on them. Once the pads are laid out on the floor, you are ready to turn on the game and begin. The game gives instructions to the players such as "slide over to a red shape" or "jump on a shape that has an animal on it." It might give you instructions such as put one body part on this square and another body part on another square. At the end of the round it will tell you that if you are on a particular pad, you win. The difficulty of the game increases the longer you play. The reviews on this game are excellent and I would highly recommend it. As always, don't forget the batteries (3 AA's). They are not included.
