Your kids will love Jump the Trap - it's a fast-paced, easy-to-play game that lets kids do one of their favorite things: jump! Step 1: Tie somebody's shoe to the end of a 5- to 8-foot rope. One player holds the shoeless end of the rope and spins around -- not too fast -- so that the rope sweeps in a circle. The weight keeps the rope fairly near the ground. Step 2: Players must jump over the rope as it passes them (this is easiest if kids spread themselves around the circle so they're not all in one clump). If the shoe hits a player's foot or leg, he's out. The last person still jumping gets to turn the rope during the next round. Try these variations: Instead of an elimination game, just have everyone take turns jumping and spinning. Also, using a repetitive jump-rope rhyme can make it easier for kids to get a feel for the duration of each turn of the rope. Have the center turner spin the rope progressively faster so that it rises higher and the jumping gets a little more challenging. Disney's Blast makes learning child's play. These age-appropriate activities make learning fun! Age 3 Step right up to the fun-filled game that lets you dunk Donald Duck! With Donald Dunk , your child will practice spelling lots of three-letter words -- with every correctly spelled word, Donald gets dunked! It's a fabulous game featuring everybody's favorite diving duck. Age 5 Goofy's having fun in the sun with Sea Serpent Slalom! Your child can help Goofy avoid the sea serpents by guiding him over the water-skiing ramps, making a splash and earning points along the way. In addition to being a fun workout for mastering hand-eye coordination, it's a great way for young gamers to improve math skills while adding up their points. Age 9 Is your child ready for a Junkyard Jam? Mickey's the conductor of this Fab 5 extravaganza, but they can't make music without help! You and your little maestro need to get the rhythm of the mouse and click the instruments in time to the background tune. It's the perfect tool to build music appreciation skills in younger users.
