I recently made a fun little Christmas themed cooperative game and I thought some of you might like to play it with your children.
Decorate the Christmas Tree is designed for children age 3 and up. It works best with 2 to 4 players although you can have more (but the players will have fewer turns). What I love about this game is that it can be set up and played in 15 minutes. That means you can have a bit of quality game time without committing an entire evening to playing games.
This is a cooperative game where players work together to get all the ornaments on the tree before the children (game piece) reaches the last space on the game board. As children spin and move along the board they count the number of spaces and place the same number of ornaments on the Christmas tree.
But watch out for that pesky little kitty. He likes to knock the ornaments off of the tree. Every time a player's spin lands on the kitty one ornament must be removed from the tree.
Our preschoolers had a great time playing this game and have been asking for it all morning.
We hope your little ones like it, too!
Here's a look at the instruction card, game board, and game pieces.

ReplyDeleteI think this is the best game I ever saw for Christmas or any dates. It is the first one I saw that is not competitive. I loved it and I´m sure my nieces will too.
ReplyDeleteI just translated the rules for Portuguese and will be glad to share them with you or your readers.
Thanks for sharing. Have a great Christmas.
