After spending much time unpacking from our recent move, we were delighted to find the Noodleboro Manners game<\/a> arrive on our new doorstep this week.  We quickly unwrapped the game and got down to business.  <\/p>\n

The game board looks like a picnic tablecloth.  It comes complete with a picnic basket and tokens that have various images on them like lemonade or apples.  Players take turns using good manners to ask permission to pick a token and see if it matches the color on their side of the "tablecloth."  Sometimes you even get a token with an ant on it.  As long as proper manners are used, "please" and "thank you" most notably, then the game continues as normal.  If manners are forgotten, players lose a token and risk losing the game.<\/p>\n

My daughters are ages 2 and 7 and we had a great time playing the game.  It was quick enough to keep the little ones attention and simple enough to play that the girls could even play by themselves.  <\/p>\n

Perhaps the best part of the entire game package is the accompanying CD which takes you from the beginning of the picnic until the end, including an ant invasion.  The girls had a blast playing the game and then spent the rest of the afternoon creating their own musical show thanks to the CD.  <\/p>\n

In addition to the game and CD, the Noodleboro game also comes with a very nice book about manners.  What’s impressive about the game is that there are three different mediums to reinforce good manners: the game, the book and the CD.  <\/p>\n

If you’re looking for a game your young children will enjoy, that doesn’t take hours to play, and helps to reinforce things you’re already trying to teach your kids, then you might want to give the Noodleboro games a try.  The games are set to premiere this fall and they’re not just limited to good manner games.  There are also games that reinforce sharing and listening.  Oh, why couldn’t they have sent us one of each???<\/p>\n

If you’d like to purchase your own game, you can do so here in The BBM Review store<\/a>. <\/p>\n

For being a fun game that doesn’t just stop when the game is over, BBM gives the Noodleboro Manners game. . .<\/p>\n
