Requires: Minimal, simple assembly
I Can Do That! Is for kids ages four through eight and is
designed for two to four players, making this an ideal family
game. Innovative Game Gets Kids Moving
This is not your traditional board game. I Can Do That! comes
with imaginative props inspired by the classic children's book
The Cat In the Hat by Dr. Seuss, as well as a deck of color-coded
cards that provide funny, challenging activities.
To start, a player picks one of each of the three color cards.
Taken together, the cards create a fun and funny activity the
player is challenged to do. For example, Card 1 could read "Take
Four Giant Steps," Card 2 "With the Cake," and Card 3 "On your
head!" Each card also has one, two, or three stars on it for
score keeping purposes. If the player wants to take the
challenge, he says "I can do that!" and proceeds. If he succeeds,
he keeps the cards in his own scoring pile. If he doesn't think
he can do the activity, he can re-draw until he gets an activity
that he can do. But watch out: if he draws a "Stop!" card, he
must give up his cards and end his turn. The player with the most
stars in the scoring pile wins the game.
Creative, Funny Activities Build Confidence
The beauty of this game is in its simplicity. Easy-to-follow
instructions and super-easy assembly ensure that your family will
be playing in no time, with minimal frustration -- a must for the
enthusiastic, shorter attention spans of younger kids.
We also love that this game goes beyond traditional board games
to get kids up and moving. This is great both for energetic
youngsters who lack the patience to focus quietly and for
children who need a bit more motivation to get physical. Kids
will have a lot of fun balancing, crawling, leaping, and skipping
with the whimsical props. They'll enjoy watching each other, and
they'll learn to compete in an entertaining environment.
We also love that the game's structure encourages kids to
challenge themselves, while the option of drawing and re-drawing
cards still gives them the choice to play at their comfort
levels. The simple, generalized game instructions are open it to
many variations, and the instructions actually encourage families
to customize the rules to their children's abilities and desires.
The only concern we had was with the game's durability. The foam
pieces definitely won't last as long as your vintage Monopoly
set. But on the plus side, the flexible, soft props guard well
against injuries or mishaps.
What's in the Box
One deck of color-coded cards, foam and plastic props, and
instruction card.
Children pick cards to try different fun and funny challenges.
