It’s hard to believe that it’s been 4 years since we went to California and we went to our favorite place on the planet, Disneyland. Our daughter was 8 at the time and we had so much fun. I think we rode every single ride at least once and we saw so many of our favorite characters. When we got home I created one of my favorite scrapbooks to document our trip. My daughter and I had the book out just the other day and had so much fun remembering our trip.
Here’s a list of some of the characters we saw during our Disneyland visit.
Mickey
Belle
Goofy
Minnie
Ariel
Pluto
Twiddledee and Twiddledum
Pooh
Eyeore
Tigger
Flick
Princess Atta
Pinocchio
Timone
Rafiki
Of course, after that trip, we enjoyed playing many Disney themed games because we felt like we knew those characters more personally. While at Disneyland, my daughter bought a Mr. Potato Head and it came outfitted with all sorts of Disney attachments. She can even create Minnie Mouse with it. We also had the Disney themed version of the game “Sorry”. Now I see that Screenlife Games has created Disney Bingo, a high tech twist on the old Bingo standard game.
Disney Bingo uses a DVD so kids learn their numbers and colors right along with their favorite Disney characters. The game is played with the same rules as standard bingo, a number is called and, if you have the number on your card, you place a chip on top of the number. The biggest difference is being able to watch film clips from some of your favorite Disney movies. The film clips act as wild cards and can help a player win the game, so it pays to pay attention! This is a super fun, super easy game for anyone age 4 and above and it only takes 2 players to make it work.
We’re hoping to be back in California in November, although, I’m not sure if we’ll have time to go back to Disneyland. It would be fun though if we could!
We love playing games in our family and we do everything from the typical board game to electronic games. We were recently introduced to a new DVD game called Banzai and it’s hysterical. Here’s a screenshot of my Tako-gatchi.
Screenlife games recently introduced Banzai which is a great family game or a great game for a party. Everything you need to play comes in the box. The goal is to win all the sushi, whoever has the most sushi at the end of the game is the winner. Don’t worry, it’s not played with real sushi so you don’t have to get all grossed out!
Each player starts with 25 sushi which are color coded to match your sushi bowl, and a pair of chopsticks. The Shogun (person in charge of the DVD remote) starts the DVD which will show a stunt of some kind. The players then have 15 seconds to use their chopsticks and race to place sushi into the betting bowl. Betting ends at the sound of the gong. If you guess the outcome of the stunt correctly, you then when all the sushi in the betting bowl. Pretty simple, if you’re good with chopsticks! The game continues until one player has all the sushi and presses the “winner” button on the DVD remote. In a nutshell, here’s how it works. First, you watch a stunt. Second, you bet on how the outcome of the stunt. Finally, you win sushi.
This is a fast paced, hilariously fun game for the entire family. The game is available for purchase and download online and it even has its own My Space page.
Take a look at this video for more insight into how this game is played.
ScreenLife Games is at it again. They launched a new Banzai game. Check it out:
