My idea of a good Mother’s Day is going to church with the family, a good meal and gathering with the family for a relaxing, yet fun afternoon. I don’t need a bouquet of flowers or a new piece of jewelry, simply playing games with the kids or putting a puzzle together is all I need. Last Christmas I reviewed several items from PlaSmart they we as a family love, so for Mother’s Day this year they sent me the Morphology game to try and see if it is Mom approved.
Morphology is designed for ages 8+ up and can be played with 4 or more players so it is a great family game. This game is about creativity and challenges, so excellent for kids and adults. Each team starts with a team frog that is placed on the starting lily pad. The game comes with two groups of words separated by difficulty, easy and hard. You can choose to just use easy or just use hard or mix them up. Each team designates who the Morphologist will be which is the person that creates the first word and teams rotate that role each round. The Morphologist from the starting team selects a card but does not show the card to his or her team. Once the Morphologist looks at the word and reads out loud the hint which is listed right under the word, the timer is flipped and the Morphologist begins building the word. Team members try to guess the word before time expires. If a team correctly guesses the word in the specified amount of time, the team moves their frog forward to the next lily pad. If the team does not guess correctly in the allotted time, the team does not advance, the first team to get to the final lily pad wins. This game was a great time, very similar to charades, but instead of acting out the word, you have to create and animate an object to help your team guess it. We look forward to a game of Morphology this Mother’s Day!
