Games We Play

This time on The Children’s Hour, we explore the games we love to play. The Kids Crew share their favorites all through the show, including games we can all play that don’t need any pieces, game boards, or equipment.

Then we get riddled by our puzzlemaker, Riya Joshi who figures out how to stump us all. You can play along with us!

The games we discussed on the show today included: The Five Second Rule, Connect Four, Uno, Mousetrap, Candyland, Battleship, Clue, Monopoly, Fluxx, Pass The Pigs, and Choose Your Own Adventure.

Learn about the science of play with Radiolab in this podcast!

This show is mixed with a playlist that’s all about play!
