I Built It Games Review & Giveaway


A new twist to some old classic games

Ever lived this scenario?  

You want to have a 'family' time with the kids, so you ask: 

 "What would you like to do for fun today?"

Then as soon as the words come out of your mouth, you want to grab them back.  You just know you are going to get at least 2 different answers.... and so it starts:

 "Let's do some coloring!!"

"NOO, we did that last time, I wanna play a game!"  

And the fight begins.  Oh no! What began as an innocent question, turns into an all out battle!  

If you have lived this, I have found a great solution to this all too common dilemma!


I Built It Games satisfies your crafty child AND your game lover!  They have taken classic games and made them so you can personalize each.  I really can't say it any better then they already have on their site:

Every "I Built It!" game comes with amazing new "Jumbo Sized" game pieces that work like mini-picture frames. You get to add any kind of picture inside every piece! Choose photos of family and friends...or create your own art with crayons or paint. Try stamps or stickers to make your game glitter...or glow in the dark! Add a theme that makes you laugh or helps you learn! Then make your game new again to change with the seasons, for holidays and special occasions, or just because it's so fun to create ...and even more fun to play!

I was attracted to this as a home educator.  The possibilities are endless.   Whatever we are studying can be made into a game.  Presidents? print some pics, match them up to their years served in office ...vocabulary? write the words, then play the game and give the spelling and definition before you can move your piece....math? solve the math problem to make your move.  
As you can see, the ideas are limited only by your imagination.

Currently available: (click on the picture or name to read more)

Instantly Build your own customized game of Memory Match and Tic Tac Toe that can change as often as your child's imagination!


Instantly customize these amazing chess sets! These familiar yet uniquely shaped chess pieces easily hold your favorite pictures.
This is the one we were able to review.  The checker pieces are 2 3/4 inches in diameter and will hold 1 3/4 inch pictures.  HUGE pieces.  Great for those smaller hands.  We loved coming up with different ideas of what pictures to put on the pieces.  The only argument now is who gets to use their choices first.  
 View this video to see how easy it is to personalize your game: 


I Built It Games is coming up with some new titles also:
Fun and exciting race through the jungle! Kids, ages 3 and up, can become jungle adventurers by racing jumbo size game pieces filled with their own photographs.

This fun variation of Ludo lets you kick those pesky monsters out of your closet and move them around the board to send them back to a cave where they belong!
 Imagine the smiles and fun when your child can say : "I built it myself".  This will be one game they will want to play and share over and over!  

I Built It Games is generously offering one of you a free game AND everyone gets a $10.00 coupon code.
