Raileigh really enjoys playing board games.? We frequently have family game nights, and she will often request to play a game together before heading off to bed for the night.? Since Darren and I are board game lovers ourselves, we are usually happy to oblige her request.?
Recently, we have been playing Elefun Snackin' Safari.? This is a new addition to the Elefun and Friends line of games-- a collection that is made specifically with preschoolers in mind.
The game comes with 13 snack cards-- 6 orange, 6 green, and one golden tutti frutti snack cake card.? There are also 2 home base cards and 2 Snackin' Safari elephant heads, handles, and trunks {which you assemble together}.? The game is meant to be played by two players.
There are several ways to play Elefun Snackin' Safari.? ALL of them will get you up and moving.? This is one of my favorite aspects of the game, as there aren't many board games that require any real physical activity.
Our favorite way to play Elefun Snackin' Safari is really easy, actually.? You spread out all 13 of the snack cards randomly on the floor.? Put each of the home base cards on opposite sides of the room. ? Grab your elephant with his attached springy truck and go to home base, then start bouncing your elephant?s trunk on the snack cards to pick up a tasty snack! Once it?s caught, run back to home base and drop it off, then get back to the snackin? as quick as you can! Make a pile of snacks, and if your pile is the biggest at the end, you win!
In addition to this method of play, you can turn all the cards upside down and require players to look for cards of a certain color.? Or, you can go on a mission to find the special tutti frutti snack-- the first one to find it wins!
I really like that there are so many variations of game play.? It keeps the game interesting and exciting.? Though we tend to play our favorite version most often, it's also nice to mix things up a bit sometimes.
Now-- there is one thing that I don't love about the game.? I have a hard time with those Snackin' Safari elephant heads.? Meaning, no matter how hard or soft I spring them, it can be difficult to get them to stick onto the snack cards.? The suction is strong, so I think it's more of an issue with aim.? I just worry that if my aim isn't good enough, then most kids might have a problem with it as well.
Regardless, Raileigh LOVES this game.? She asks to play Elefun Snackin' Safari almost daily and enjoys collecting all the cute snack cards as we play.
Elefun Snackin' Safari is sure to be a hot item with preschoolers this year, so make sure to pick up your copy of this game for all the little ones in your life!

Taking on a new job also means negotiating a new salary, and that means you might have to accept a little less than you want at first. If that's the case, Psychology Today recommends you ask right away for a performance review within six months to possibly negotiate a raise.
