Love cheerleading? Want a great workout? Then you need to play We Cheer 2. This game definitely has a little something for everyone. You can choose the training mode (to learn the moves), exercise mode, championship mode, or even the multiplayer mode. You can customize your squad, so they look exactly how you want.  The wii controllers become your poms poms as you jump, kick, and dance to the routines.  I learned from playing that I am no where near as coordinated as I thought I was.  After the first time you play it, your arms will feel like they should fall off (at least mine did).  This game also comes with a great soundtrack too.

We Cheer 2 is a fun game for any age.  You will definitely have hours and hours of fun with this game.

Having grown up on Nancy Drew, I love that they’ve come out with a whole line of games that incorporate her into it. It’s great seeing a girl with strong self esteem and brains. I love that my daughter has a strong character to look up to.  This game has you going to a prep school (and all that entails like cramming for tests and cliques.  You even have a cell phone that’s equipped with a camera.) while you are solving a mystery.  Nancy Drew’s job is to find out who is responsible for the pranks that have been occurring.  You quickly learn that the pranks are being targeted against valedictorian candidates.  My favorite feature of this game is that if you manage to get yourself killed, you automatically start over at the point you made your fatal mistake.  This game is rated E for everyone.  It has two difficulty settings (Jr or Sr Detective), so almost anyone can play this.

Nancy Drew:  Warnings at Waverly Academy is a great game to try out and play.  It’ll make a great affordable Christmas gift!  (You can even check at Waverly Academy on their website and on Nancy Drew’s Twitter account.)

A great fun game to play with your family has to be You’ve been Sentenced! It’s for 8 and up, but with some help, even your new reader can play it.  Each player gets 10 cards.  You take your ten cards and make a sentence that makes sense.  Your sentence then goes to the jury — that is, your fellow players.  You have to justify why it makes sense to score.  Some of the sentence you are forced to make up are pretty funny.  It really makes you think fast and having to justify your sentence makes you have to think even faster!  The game comes with 540 cards that are five sided, so you have hours and hours of unique games ahead of you!  If you manage to make it through all of the cards, there are even add on decks!  You can add on the Reader’s Digest National Word Power Challenge, Gourmet Cuisine, Pop Culture (this is our personal favorite), Sci-Fi/Fantasy, and Sports Highlights.

You’ve Been Sentenced is a game that is fun for any child or adult who can read!

One of the funnest and funniest games that is coming out for Christmas is Giraffalaff Limbo.  Not only will your kids be giggling but you will be too!  This isn’t like any Limbo you’ve ever played though.  You have to spin the wheel and find out which silly animal walk you have to do under the limbo bar.  It you hit the bar, it’ll start giggling at you, and you are out of the game!  Is it silly?  Definitely!  Will your kids love it?  Yes!  You will have your kids constantly yelling at you to watch them do their silly walk.  The limbo bar is made out of foam, so you have no worries about anyone getting hurt.  I love that this game is more about having fun than who wins or who loses.  It also helps your little ones with their coordination.

If you want hours of giggling, Giraffalaff Limbo definitely fits the bill!

I love when my old favorite games come with a new twist. The new Candy Land: Sweet Celebration Game definitely fits the bill for that.  My biggest complaint before was that sometimes a Candy Land game could take too long for Madison’s attention span.  However, this new Candy Land game solves that problem for me!  Instead of being a traditional board game, you and your kids get to make the board.  You can make it super long or shorten the game (which is what we’ve been doing).  We only have hardwood floors in my house, so we had no problem keeping the board together.  They also have 3D lands that they can land on like Ice Cream Harbor.  For us, it made the game a little more interactive.  The Sweet Celebration Game will remind you of your old stand by favorite but only better!
