Holiday Gift Guide: Chick Fil A Cranium Games & Calender Review & Giveaway

Welcome to The Freebie Junkie's Holiday Gift GuideGift: Chick Fil A Calender & Cranium gamesCategory: Children, Friends or Family Gift - contains great coupons tooReview & Giveaway 

My favorite fast food place has to be Chick Fil A by a wide margin.  Not only is the food so much better but their kid's meals contain fun and educational prizes and not those cheap plastic toys that get tossed aside as soon as the meal is done.  As part of their "Growing kids inside and out" program, Chick-fil-A is partnering with Cranium, through the end of the year, by offering one of nine Cranium-themed games with a kid's meal. 

The board games

features game packs of easy-to-hold question cards that encourage teamwork and quick thinking.

• “Creative Cat” cards ask players to draw and identify pictures.
• “Data Head” cards test logic.
• “Star Performer” cards instruct players to act and hum.
• “Word Worm” cards test players with puzzles, spelling and categorizing.

The board game/game pack series

features a variety of questions and activities to keep parents and children interacting for hours.

• The Cranium Family Edition Board Game includes a miniature game board, activity cards, a die and tokens for players to race to the finish line by correctly answering creative, data, performer and word questions.
• The Cranium Family Edition Game Pack puts players into two teams that attempt to successfully complete creative, data, performer and word activities in less than 60 seconds.
• The Kid Cranium Board Game includes a miniature game board, activity cards, a die, tokens, a crayon and paper. To win, players must correctly answer solo or partner questions to place four tokens in a row on the board.
• The Kid Cranium Game Pack comes with a spinning wheel and activity cards featuring solo and partner challenges.
• The Whoonu Game Pack helps players get to know each other better. The pack includes word cards and point cards that the “Whoozit” uses to identify his or her favorite things for the other players to guess and earn points.

While my children are too young to play these games by themselves, its a great concept as it encourages parents to interact with their children and learn something new together.  We have nights where the TV stays off.  The kids usually pull out a puzzle or undertake an art project and now we can work on these Cranium games together.  They are perfect for on the road as these games are pocket sized.
