Having fun games (non video) on hand is very important to me. They are indispensable for rainy days, long car rides, and "I'm Board" moments. I also want something the children can play themselves after a introductory game or two with mom. So when I found Educational Insights I quickly grew a huge list of wants for my kids. Educational Insights is a company that provides high quality affordable educational toys and products for children. So when Educational Insights offered to send me one of their electronic games I was thrilled!
Here is a little blurb from the company:
Based in Southern California, Educational Insights, is the manufacturer of playful products with serious educational value, including subject-specific classroom products, teacher resources, educational toys, and games. Our products are designed by seasoned educators and parents who know that, first and foremost, learning must be fun.

One of the games they sent me was Freeze Up ages 8-99 $24.99. It is a fun electronic game that asks the players to say a word from a certain category starting with a certain letter before the time runs out. So you might have to think of a flower starting with the letter W! This game was allot of fun not only for my children but for me and my husband! We got stumped several times and then you can choose a new category or letter. It is a fast moving game that doesn't go on forever so it keeps the attention of younger kids without frustrating them.
This is a great game and would make a perfect Christmas present for not just kids but also families and teenagers.
