Games on the Go for Mother’s Day
Stuck on what to give Mom this Mother’s Day? Consider gifting her a range of compact games she can play with her family and friends anywhere. From a relaxed afternoon at home to a weekend away, a Mother’s Day picnic or a quick game between courses at lunch, Solarpop’s games on the go make it easy to turn moments into memories. Quick to learn, easy to pack and designed for plenty of laughter, each game offers a way to bring everyone together around the person being celebrated.
5 Second Rule Travel
For moms who love a little friendly competition, quick thinking and a lot of laughs, 5 Second Rule Travel is a natural fit. It brings all the pressure and fun of having to name three things in just five seconds. It is fast, funny and almost guaranteed to reveal who in the family can think on their feet, and who completely blanks when the timer starts. Look out for the other versions also – 5 Second Rule Sports and 5 Second Rule Entertainment.
Spot It! SA
For something visual and simple, Spot It! SA is a great game to pack and play. The game is built around speed, observation and quick reactions, making it easy for different generations to play together. One round often turns into several, especially when someone insists they “definitely saw it first”. Look out for
Bananagrams
Word-game lovers will enjoy Bananagrams, a fast-paced game that turns letters into a race. It’s perfect for moms who enjoy language, puzzles or a little wordplay with their cup of tea. With no board required, it’s easy to set up, making it a strong pick for relaxed Mother’s Day play.
Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza
For families who enjoy something a little unexpected, Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza brings quick, quirky fun to the table. The other version – Taco Back Goat Cheese Pizza, reverses the rules! These games are energetic and easy to enjoy in short bursts, which makes them a great option when the day is full but there is still time for a few rounds between meals, gifts and family photos.
Card Games
Then there are games built for quick-fire moments and sharp decisions. Trio, Flip 7 and Fast Blast all offer compact entertainment with plenty of replay value. They are ideal for families who enjoy games that move quickly and keep everyone engaged. Expect matching, flipping, reacting or trying to outplay the person next to you.
Exploding Kittens Grab & Go
For moms with a mischievous sense of humour, Exploding Kittens Grab & Go adds a dose of chaos to the occasion. Small enough to fit in her handbag, but big enough to get everyone laughing, it’s a strong choice for families who enjoy strategy and the occasional betrayal in the name of fun.
Philip Galliford, spokesperson for Solarpop, says: “What makes these games especially suited to Mother’s Day is their simplicity. They do not require a major setup, and they fit into the natural rhythm of the day, adding something light and memorable to the celebration. Sometimes the best gift is not the biggest or the most expensive, it’s the one that brings happiness.”Top of Form
