50% Off Great Family Games at the SimplyFun Summer Sizzler Sale!

We’ve sung the praises of SimplyFun in the past, and that’s because we truly love their entire line of awesome, fun, and educational games for kids.

And because we’re such fans of SimplyFun, we’re excited to announce their Summer Sizzler Sale!

The Summer Sizzler Sale begins Tuesday June 9^th and runs through Thursday June 11^th, so you’ll want to make sure to act quickly.  You don’t want to miss this one, because when SimplyFun does a sale, they do it big – you’ll find a huge selection of family games at 50% off the regular price!

Some of the games you’ll find on sale include Ice Hop, Freefall, and Unravel.

Ice Hop is a fun game about penguins (my favorite!).  It’s springtime in Antarctica, and players help penguins along their way by counting ice chunks and scoring points.  As children need visual reinforcement to help them understand early addition, Ice Hop is perfect.  Adult penguins teach their young chicks to safely follow along during their annual march by building a hopping path and counting the chunks along the way.  Cards show the number of chunks needed, so players count and compile until they’ve helped the penguins complete their journey.

Freefall is a skydiving adventure where players score points each round by staying in the highest zone and making skillful landings for bonus points.  This game is filled with strategy!  Players will pick parachutes, set up a landing zone, “whoosh” around the zone to earn more landing points for themselves.  I love that this game fosters visual mapping skills and encourages tactical planning and working out risk and rewards.  Kids and parents will both love this game.

Unravel is a fun kite game, without big kites or a need to visit the park!  Players will race against each other to “untangle” kite strings and figuring out who is holding the kite string shown on the die roll.  It’s a great way to teach focus and holding attention, and for mentally tracing routes in their heads.  As players race to solve the “mystery” of who is holding which string, they will also enhance eye-to-mind coordination and develop those concentration skills so crucial to early reading.

That was just a few of the many super fun and incredibly educational games you can snag for 50% off during the Summer Sizzler Sale, so make sure you hop over there before June 11^th to see the rest of SimplyFun’s lineup!  You can also follow SimplyFun on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on all sales and special offers.
