Bingo Bunch

My kids aren't big game players so I was really happy to see how much they loved this game Bingo Bunch by Cranium that a family friend bought for them. You roll 2 special dice with different pictures of cartoon heads and bodies, and then see if any of your own 16 cards match the combination that the dice have rolled. When you have four matches in a row, you have "Bingo." For my kids (and me, too) one of the most fun parts is naming the cartoon heads and bodies--the instructions include names like Allie Astronaut, Sammy Snorkel, and Regina Ballerina, but my kids prefer to yell out things like "Helmet Head, Pajama bottom." In addition to being a fun, easy game, it also packs up quite small--the dice and the cards fit neatly into a little 4" pouch. It would also work well as a travel game. Buy it for $12.95 at Amazon.com.

Thanks, "Aunt L." for Bingo Bunch and all of the other treats!
