Learning About Manners Picnic Basket Game by Noodleboro

The girls have had the Learning About Manners Picnic Basket Game by Noodleboro (Playskool) for several years now.  They love it!  It is a unique game with a picnic blanket board, a picnic basket, games pieces, a story they can read, and a cd to listen too.  Many times as we are setting up the game someone will read the story and after playing the game the girls like to listen to the cd. It is a cute game about using your manners, being kind, and polite.

  • Colorful with neat game pieces (how many games come with a cool picnic basket)
  • Book  to read during story time with fun character who are learning their manners
  • Audio CD with more about the story and songs regarding using manners
  • Easy to play (recommended for ages 4 and up)
  • 2 to 4 Players
  • Object of the game – use your manners and be the first to collect all the items you need at your picnic!
  • Learning Benefits – social skills (say “please” and “thank you”), taking turns, listening, reading, and more

We love games!   We have found that playing games is beneficial for many reasons.  It gives us quality time together as a family.  The kids learn that they will not always win (which is not always an easy lesson to learn), but the game can still be fun even if you are not the victor in every game.  It provides opportunities for us to talk and create memories together.  Games teach and help our kids practice a variety of useful skills like following directions, reading, writing, counting, taking turns, and more.
