In our fast-paced lives, finding time for quality family moments can be challenging. However, Hasbro has a solution for inclusive family play with the launch of their new Junior Range of board games. Specifically designed for preschoolers aged 3 and above, these beloved classic brands provide an entertaining and educational environment for the youngest family members to participate.
Board games offer more than just fun; they come with significant educational, developmental, and social benefits for preschoolers. Children can learn to follow instructions, develop patience, and take turns while engaging in healthy competition. Additionally, board games promote literacy, problem-solving skills, deductive reasoning, and more. Each game in the Junior Range caters to different aspects of a child's growth. For example, Clue Junior promotes deductive reasoning, Twister Junior enhances gross motor skills, and My First Monopoly encourages counting and reading.
Hasbro's Junior Range is perfect for indoor fun, especially on rainy days, as these classic games can keep the little ones happily engaged for hours.
Let's take a closer look at each of the new games:
1. Clue Junior (2-6 players) This junior version of the classic 'whodunnit' mystery board game is designed for kids ages 4 and above. It features a double-sided gameboard with two levels of play. On Level 1, kids work together to solve a Playground Mix-up. They explore the playground, searching for clues in seek-and-find picture tiles to figure out what item is missing and who took it. When ready for a bit more challenge, they can flip the board over to Level 2 and compete to solve the Science Lab Mystery, uncovering who set off the volcano, what they poured into it, and where they should have been. Clue Junior is a great game for family time.
2. My First Monopoly This junior version of the popular Monopoly board game provides fun teaching tools for families. The double-sided gameboard offers two levels of play suitable for different age groups. One side focuses on counting and matching for kids ages 4-5, while the other side features more advanced play, focusing on reading and simple math for kids ages 6 and above. Each level uses its own set of Monopoly money, cards, and rules, allowing families to pick the level best suited to them.
3. Twister Junior Get ready for a roaring good time with the Twister Junior game, an animal-themed adventure suitable for kids ages 3 and above. This fun game includes a double-sided mat and reversible spinner for an animal adventure that grows with your little movers. In the Animal Safari game, kids can discover colors and animals and imitate the actions and sounds of the animals they land on. They can also flip the mat over for the action-packed Animal Party game that gets them moving. Fun for the whole family, Twister Junior is ideal for indoor active play.
Hasbro's Junior Range is available at leading retailers, including Takealot.com, Toys R Us, Toy Zone, Toy Kingdom, Hamleys, Makro, and Importatoy.
