momstown KW has Fun at Laugh & Learn's Mattel Mommy & Me Game Day!

Every week, momstown KW members gather for our Laugh & Learn Childrens Program. Rotating each week between Jr Chef, Little Scientist, Tales for Tots and a special day our members and their children have something new to look forward to each week!

Well, this week, Mattel sponsored our Laugh & Learn program with a Mattel Mommy & Me Game Day!
This special day time gave everyone the opportunity to be in a fun environment with other young kids and learn to play the various games!

We got to play: Chipmunk Choppers, Parrot Pile-Up, Go Piggy Go!, Uno Moo and Angry Birds Knock on Wood!

This was a great way for the moms to spend some fun time with their children and Mattel's Preschool Games offer kids aged 3-5 a variety of titles that will lead to hours of fun! These games are not only entertaining, but also educational and rewarding as well!  

After everyone had learned the importance of sharing, taking turns, and having patience, to name just a few of the important concepts that playing board games can teach children, everyone was a winner and got to take home their own Mattel Game!  

momstown KW Mamas Get Their GAME ON with Mattel Games Night - Moms Night Out!

 As moms, I don't think we get out as much and do fun things like we used.  In our new mom roles, we sometimes lose ourselves and aren't able to do all the activities we found fun before having children.  At momstown, we aim to bridge that gap by having regular Moms Night Out, with a variety of themes and activities.  Just for mom.  Our recent moms night out was sponsored by Mattel for a Game On Games Night.  FUN!    We were so anxious for this night to come, our staff was even making bets on who would take the winner's crown for Apples to Apples.  Seriously.   The battle was going to be epic and we were sure each other would win.

The box that Mattel sent us was loaded with games some of us new and loved, and new ones we have never played or tried.  It was hard to decide where to start and who play what game first.  But just like our personalities, we gravitated towards the game that we were comfortable with and went for it!  Mattel Game On even has a GAMEOLOGY app where you can get your reading of what kind of gaming personality you have.  Try it, is fun!  Like them on Facebook too for more gaming fun.

Do you prefer to play the strategic Blokus, the silly Mad Gab or creative Apples to Apples?  And who doesn't love a good game of Uno?  I remember many road trips that included endless fun games of Uno with my family.   Since being introduced to Apples to Apples through momstown, I am now a die-hard fan of the game and tell everyone it should be in their closet collection of family games.  And the momstown twist on the game makes it even more challenging.  We really sell our cards!

 As you can see, we were very intense in our Apples to Apples game.  The staff battle was the centre of the attention and the poor judges each round were nervous.  All in good fun though!

The epic staff battle came down to these 3 cards, the theme was Cruel and the 2 challengers - Adolf Hitler & Tornadoes.  Tornadoes won over the judge because of my description of what had just happened in Oklahoma and how cruel tornadoes really can be.  Not a good situation for those in Oklahoma but the example won me the game point that I needed.     







I may have been lucky enough to win the game that night but these ladies were even luckier, winning their very own copy of a Mattel game to take home to their families!  They will be encouraging a new generation of Mattel fans and good ole board game fun.

Our members loved this idea so much that we will definitely be having more Moms Games Nights Out!  Thank you Mattel.
