We have been enjoying the summer break this year. The kids have been attending bike and soccer camp, we’ve had family visits from out of town multiple times, and we are spending lots of time outdoors, enjoying our little pool in the backyard and the beautiful sunshiny days.  But the summer is almost over, and back to school is just coming up for the kids in a couple of weeks.

To celebrate the return to school and make it more exciting, we are partnering with some of our friends to giveaway some fantastic prizes. This giveaway will have multiple winners, and we are giving away the following items (all must-haves for hours of fun!).

Packed with their school bags, the students wait patiently at the bus stop until the big yellow bus pulls up. There it is, and the friendly driver opens the doors. Now everyone can slowly get on one after the other and look for a seat. Quickly the journey continues because the lessons are about to begin!

ASMODEE CANADA GAMES

We also have some fun games to get kids in the back-to-school spirit. These fun games from Asmodee Canada offer enriching thrills and things to learn while alleviating some of the back-to-school stress.

Concept

In Concept, your goal is to guess words through the association of icons. To get others to guess “milk”, the team might place the question mark icon (it signifies the main concept) on the liquid icon, then cubes of this colour on “food/drink” and “white”. The first player to discover the word or phrase receives two victory points, the team receives points as well.
