How about another giveaway to start the week. Once again I have teamed up with Wicked Uncle, to bring you a lovely family game. Whether you are looking for fun activities for cold and rainy Sunday afternoons, which is something we have always loved doing. It is lovely spending some quality family time, and putting down your phones etc. Or you are looking forward to Christmas my This or That Game giveaway will bring you lots of fun.
This is a great chance to start getting ready for Christmas and stocking up on your stocking fillers.
This or That game is a fun game for 2 or more players, that will let you explore lots of unexpected facts that is fun and fast paced.
Players must race against each other. This can be done in teams or against each other, to answer one simple question. Is it this or that? For example –
- Which was first on Earth – the crocodile or the T-Rex?
- Which is taller – Tom Cruise or a kangaroo’s jump?
Make sure that you avoid the red herrings though, and you may find you learn some interesting facts along the way. Which will help in quizzes in the future. Such as facts like Oxford University is 330 years older than the Aztec Empire.
This is certainly great fun family game, plus educational as well.
