Hey all!
As warm weather starts to trickle into the extended forecast, it’s time to start planning for upcoming vacations and three-day weekends. Whether traveling by car or airplane, you’ll need to have some entertainment on-hand for yourself and your young traveling companions. While travel entertainment is of upmost importance, don’t forget to throw some classic games into the trunk or carry-on bag for entertainment when you arrive at your destination.
This spring and summer, Hasbro has your travel entertainment covered! With a variety of options – from card games to compact Fun on the Run games – the kids won’t want to leave the back seat!
Classic game fans LIKE MYSELF can now take the fun on the road with Fun on the Run games. These extremely affordable games are portable versions of favorites such as CONNECT 4, HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS, GUESS WHO? and BATTLESHIP.
And when the vacation or summer is over, kids can pack these games in a backpack for fun on the school bus or lunch time or during an after-school play date.
I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to review the travel Hungry Hungry Hippos Fun on the Run travel game. I used to play this game as a child and I was in LOVE with the theme song for the game. How many of you remember the song? Hungry, Hungry Hippos!!!
This mini version that Hasbro has created is amazing I will say. I has all the fun of the large at home version and it makes taking this game on the road a breeze! The best thing about this version of the game is you can't misplace the little balls that the Hippos eat. I love that. I would always be searching for those balls and I still did that when I played with my teen when he was younger. We still play today with my niece and nephew who practically live with us and we always misplace the balls. The dog probably ate a few. But what I really love about this mini version is that has a plastic dome over it which holds the balls inside the games so they don't get lost.
My family and I loved playing this game as we traveled up to Northern California to see the In-Laws and it was suck a is a great addition to our road trip! The kids loved playing this game and I'm sure yours will as well!
