Alexis who commented on July 26, “I love playing picture picture with the family,” is the random winner of the Blurt! board game. Thanks to everyone who entered this giveaway!
I’m really glad my 7-year-old is graduating to more challenging board games. You can only play Hi Ho Cherry-O so many times before threatening to flush those God-forsaken plastic cherries down the toilet. Family game night is a fun way to spend time with your kids and unplug from the TV or computer. Blurt! is a fun educational game I was sent to try out in honor of its 15th anniversary this year. It’s great for families and an excellent language-skill builder.
Blurt! is a fast-paced game for three to 12 players, although my 7-year-old and I have played it together, that requires no batteries (yea) and is very easy to learn. It includes 300 color coded two-sided cards with a total of 1,800 clues. One side is “easier” and one side is for older players. We’ve been playing the modified junior version for ages 7 to 9 and my 7-year-old loves it. I thought it might be a little too old for her, but I’ve been amazed at how well she is reading and also what a great way it is to help build her vocabulary. We’ve even been playing with our 4-year-old, although we have to give her extra clues.
Tim Walsh was inspired to invent Blurt! in 1990 after he came up with the concept in his wife’s 3rd grade classroom (actually they were just dating at the time and perhaps he wanted to impress her with his ability to entertain her students). The game has sold more than 1 million copies.
