Hippo fun and review

One of my favorite games growing up was "Hungry Hungry Hippo's" What a great game! This is a video of my daughter playing with some of our Fuse Students (youth group). She loves hanging out with these kids! :) They are super sweet to her and good role models too! :)

I have one complaint?? With the game to fit it back in the box you have to take the hippos off! :( WHY?? That is so silly. Was it always like that? I don't remember that when I was a kid. We got the gift from papa for Christmas so maybe this one was cheaper?? I wonder what would happen if I wrote to the company. I have not done that but I think my opinion is a good one. So I threw the box away and just put the marbles in a bag and tape it to it.

LOL Great blog and I am now your newest follower. Thank you for stopping by my blog.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

Description: The first book in The Reading Game learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender. It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long. It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words. These are broken down into six sets of five words. The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game. Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory. Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not). Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"
