Why I recommend it

Dr. Hayley Crain, child psychologist

No reading is needed, so younger kids can play on their own terms. It is all luck, which makes it gentle practice with taking turns and with losing. The Bluey theme helps keep them at the table.

How to use it

  1. Talk about what you will do if you lose before you start.
  2. Name it out loud when you lose, and show how you handle it.
  3. Keep games short and stop while it is still fun.

Try saying

“Win or lose, we can still have fun playing.”

Good to know

Small game pieces. Keep them away from children under 3.
