An enlightened selection from Aude, board game product manager at OXYBUL – Early learning and toys
« For the holidays, I would really recommend travel games: little boxes that fit in easily everywhere. My favourites?
DUO ANIMO : a card game for younger players (aged 3 and above)
- Thick cards that will cope with every holiday
- Really simple rules that become more complex as the child grows
- Really short games that are suited to their attention span
- And a tiny price: 4.99 euros
T’ES PAS CAP (Can’t you do it?): THE card game that is aceing it with kids aged 6 and above
- They play everywhere: in the car, on the plane, on the beach…
- It’s a cult game of truth or dare: parents are super happy to rediscover the game and pass it on to their kids!
- Belly laughs guaranteed
- A real family game
- and a tiny price too: 4.99 euros
VALSE AUX MOTS (Word Waltz): a game of mime and drawing
- The aim of the game? Get your partner to guess a word by drawing, miming or using synonyms
- Various levels of difficulty: supporting growing talent!
- A real multi-generational game: it’s fun for everyone
- And a rarer attribute: it is multilingual! It’s so cool to play with your cousins from the other side of the world, or discreetly revise your languages!
- The price? 14.99 euros”
All these games are exclusive to FAMILYBUL, our Talent brand designed to encourage children to play together.
The bonus question for the games expert: What do you do when you’ve forgotten everything and you’re stuck in a traffic jam / train station / airport lounge with kids who are bored senseless?
“You go back to the classics! A little game of “PETIT BAC” (CATEGORIES) always works:
- I choose a letter (pointing at a magazine page with my eyes shut for example)
- I set 3/4/5/10 categories (animal / colour / clothing / country, etc.)
- The first to complete all categories with a word beginning with the chosen letter wins
- For a bigger challenge, we use a stopwatch!
Enjoy your holiday games! ”
