Although this looks like a silly game it is anything but mindless. Players take turns pulling a challenge card and getting the bucket, ball, and pump positioned so that they can do the challenge shown on the card. It takes trial and error and strategies to set up the pump and bucket, apply the right amount of pressure to shoot the ball into the bucket. Encourage kids to work on solving these cooperatively. A playful choice for family fun with mixed aged groups. Can be played by two kids or teams. 7 & up
