Quick, fun and portable games to play anywhere

Sometimes children need to be entertained and distracted, be it during a long car journey, at a restaurant waiting for food to arrive or when visiting friends or family.

Here is our pick of the top easy-to-learn, fun games that are perfect for young children:

Spot It!

This portable game in its distinctive round tin is good for cognitive development. It has received numerous awards for its edutainment value as players need to spot the same items on each card. It’s not as simple as it sounds and there are numerous ways to play, keeping it exciting.

Spot It! boosts thinking skills, problem-solving, and a competitive mindset, says Philip Galliford, the spokesperson for Solarpop—distributor for Spot It!

 

5 second Rule SA Travel Edition

This game requires players to say whatever comes to mind, even if the answers are ridiculous. With the pressure of a ball rolling down a 5-second timer, the answers usually are! Unlike Trivial Pursuit, where players need to know facts, this game is about getting your brain working quickly with your mouth to spit out the words within the pressure cooker timeframe.

 

Bananagrams

Bananagrams is a word game that requires no pencil, paper or board. The tiles come in a handy pouch that can be thrown into a handbag or rucksack. Excellent game for children to learn the alphabet and how to spell; they’ll be having so much fun they won’t even realise they’re learning.

Available from Takealot.com, Toy Kingdom, Hamleys, Toys R Us, Bargain Books.
