2. Cover Your Assets Game

There is a reason that Cover Your Assets is so highly-reviewed and this small game will be a big hit with your tween. This game is fast-paced, competitive, and a more than a little addictive. Will it teach you to be wise with your financial decisions in life, or how to be a savvy investor? Absolutely not. Will it cause bouts of laughter, good-humored competition, and fun-filled gatherings? We certainly hope so.

It’s quite difficult to explain why it’s such a riot to play, but let me try. It’s like a combination of a white elephant gift exchange, an estate sale, and Robin Hood (because you steal from the rich and give it to yourself… wait, that’s not like Robin Hood at all… oh well, hopefully you get the point). Your fortune can be made, or lost, in just a few turns. You’re never out of the game until the last card is played.

 

 

3. Flipside Game

Your tweens will love this all-new and fun challenging game. Flipslide is an addictive, fast paced puzzle game of skill! Flip to find the color and slide to match the lights. Your tweens can take it anywhere, play it anytime, it’s addictive fun for anyone! It has four different game modes to choose and it can be played alone or in multi-player mode.

 

 

 

4. Kikbo Kick Shuttlecock

Kids, tweens and teens who love soccer or sports in general will love this Kikbo Kick Shuttlecock game. It’s like badminton for your feet and a little easier than a hackysack! Soccer with wings! Kikbo is an awesome sport based on the ancient Chinese pass-time of Jianzi. It’s a great workout and one that builds your foot-eye coordination (great for soccer), especially during the winter months where getting outside with a ball is difficult. It’s also great for doing tricks. Beware the wind! It’ll make playing difficult. Each tube contains one Kikbo and feathers.

 

 

5. Epic Zero Book

I love these highly-reviewed Epic Zero Books. They are specifically for tween boys entering middle school. They have everything a superhero fan of middle-grade age could want: action, suspense, and more than a little humor. Epic Zero is the story of a young man born into a family of powerful superheroes, but with no powers of his own. His situation is unqiue, but the feelings of not-quite-belonging and the struggle to find a sense of purpose and identity are things we all wrestled with at that age. Readers find a main character they can relate to, and will understand and go along when he makes questionable choices in his attempts to figure himself out and make his mark on the world. They’ll be rooting for him from page one.

 

6. Convertible Lazy Cell Phone Holder

The Convertible Phone Holder is super flexible, and your tween can bend it into any shape to meet what their needs. My tween and teen have these and they have been a big hit. Your tween can strap it around their neck to watch a movie, they can wrap it around their car or bicycle steering wheel or it can stand up or be tucked into a bed frame. There are so many uses for this Convertible Cell Phone Holder. It comes with both white and black and it is compatible with almost every size of phone from 2.2 inches (minimum) to 3.34 inches (maximum) Wide.

15. Popsocket Phone or Ipad Stand

What Are PopSockets? PopSockets are expanding grips and stands that attach to most phones, tablets, and cases. They come in different themes such as Sports, Galaxy, Beach, Camo and so many more! Add a single PopSocket, or a pair of PopSockets, to the back of almost any mobile device to transform its capabilities. PopSockets “pop” whenever you need a grip, a stand, an earbud-management system, or just something to play with. Remove your PopSocket by pulling slowly on the base; you can reposition and reattach time and time again. You’ll always have the exact grip or stand you need. PopSockets not only make terrific phone grips and phone stands, they also make holding tablets and e-readers more comfortable and secure.

16. Skyjo Game

Don’t let the ugly box fool you!

As soon as a player reaches 100 points or more the player with the fewest points wins. Collecting the fewest points means to look for low or even negative numbers.
