Overview
It's the summer holidays and I'm constantly looking for something to do with the children so that they don't get bored or watch too much TV. One of the things I like to do in the summer is get some games out to play together. It's something we don't find much time for in the week when everyone's at school and work so it's nice to spend some quality time together just playing while we have the chance.
We were sent a really fun game to review recently called Wobbly Worm, it's by Spinmaster Toys and retails at £15.00 - you can buy Wobbly Worm from Amazon.
Suitability
It's suitable for ages 3 plus, although I think younger children could play it too. It basically consists of a tall worm that wobbles around and you have to try to throw different sized hoops over his head! You can adjust the difficulty by making the worm taller or shorter.
Instructions
Our children love just freestyle play with Wobbly Worm but you can follow one of these two sets of instructions ...
Easy version
- Each player has three of the same coloured hoops.
- Each player takes one big step back from wobbly. Now the player is stuck to the spot and can't move their feet!
- Press the START button to make Wobbly Worm start to wobble. If you ever need to stop Wobbly Worm, just press the button again.
- Each player takes turns to reach out and try to place their hoop over Wobbly Worm's head. Remember not to move your feet!
- Play moves to the next player and the winner is the first to place all three hoops around Wobbly Worm.
More difficult version
- Each player has three of the same coloured hoops.
- Each player takes THREE big steps back from Wobbly. Mark your position as "home base"
- Press the START button to make Wobbly Worm start to wobble! If you ever need to stop Wobbly Worm, just press the button again.
- Players take turns to throw their hoops over Wobbly Worm's head while staying on their "home base".
- When you have thrown all of your hoops you can pick up any missed ones and try again.
- The first player to get all three hoops over Wobbly Worm's head wins!
Gameplay review
The girls loved playing this one morning in the garden while the weather was nice. It's completely transportable so if the weather wasn't great it could be played inside too. It was really easy to put together and put away again and the girls played very happily with it together. It's the sort of game that their little brother (3) would like too, as you don't really need to follow the rules, you could just have fun throwing the hoops on!
Our verdict
What I liked about this game was that the girls could take turns so it helps promote sharing and learning to take turns when playing a game. It's also not your typical sit down game so they were up and about and moving while playing it which is nice and better for their physical activity levels. It really helps them to work on their co-ordination skills too. I think that the Wobby Worm game will get lots of use in our house!
