Do you play cooperative games?

I was given some old ones from my sil. These games are from Family Pastimes a small family company in Canada and they are lots of fun. There are many versions for many age levels and they are a good solution for that ds or dd that just can't stand to lose or settle for anything less than first place.

I did some searching on the web and came up with a couple of more physically based games to for home-P.E. class which we are now having in our garage. Well, we haven't done much but I'm preping in that direction.

Hi Amie,

I haven't ever heard of this but I'm having fun exploring the site and looking at ALL the games.

Thanks for sharing the link.

Hi! We have two of these games: Harvest Time and the Sleeping Grump. We like them both and would love to hear other recommendations.

I find they are perfect for that 5yo age when losing at Chutes and Ladders produces copious tears - and the poor dears don't understand the difference between a game of chance and a game of skill!!

I found some games that aren't cooperative, so to speak, but are simple and fun for the whole family. Timberdoodle sells them. One is called Sherlock, the others aren't handy at the moment, but are similar. If you look at Sherlock on Timberdoodle, they will link to the other games.

Best of all, they are very cheap!

We have Harvest Time and it is a great game for my littles to play. I would love to hear reviews on other cooperative games.

We have both Harvest Time and The Secret Door by this company. The kids have enjoyed both.
