All you need is the small game board (there are no pieces, no cards…nothing to lose!) and you’re ready to keep the kids entertained in those tough waiting moments. This simple, unassuming game is a must-have for every mom’s purse. Truly a fantastic game and one that they’ll ask you to play over and over again. We also love that The Sneaky Snacky Squirrel includes an element of decision making as they often need to choose which acorn to pick (ideally one they don’t already have on their log), and that they learn good sportsmanship when they have to lose a turn, get an acorn stolen or lose all their acorns. Players get to use the Squirrel Squeezers (kids loooooved these!) to move the acorns, which not only adds a special element of fun, but is also fantastic for developing their hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. On your turn, spin the spinner, and perform the task you land on: either pick a specific colored acorn, pick any 1 acorn, pick any 2 acorns, steal an acorn, lose a turn or the dreaded lose all your acorns. There’s no reading required (which allows young siblings to play together unassisted), and kids picked up the game play very quickly. We got plenty of “play again!”s with The Sneaky Snacky Squirrel – a delightful game where you aim to be the first to fill your log with acorns. The Sneaky, Snacky Squirrel Game (3+ years 2-4 players)

It took 2 years, but we’re so excited to finally unveil our list of the Best Games For Kids & Families!Īnd just to be upfront, this isn’t a list filled with games you already have in your game closet.
