Onceuponatime Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I was poking around on Amazon, looking for Christmas ideas for 8yo boys. One thing that came up was a board game called Totally Gross. It seems rather popular, but I've never heard of it. It's supposed to be science oriented. Does anyone have this, or have your kids played it? What do you think of it? Is it educational or just silly? A little of both? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

besroma Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 We haven't played it. Bumping for you. :) Have you tried the K-8 board? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLDebbie Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I've never heard of it either, but it sounds like a game my boys would love. I just might get it for them for Christmas or upcoming birthdays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 We have it. It's ok. We played it a few times, and now it has sat on top of the bookshelf for a year or two. It wasn't as exciting as we had hoped :lol: Oh, and I would say it is educational AND silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Girls' Mom Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Ok, I went and got it off the shelf and looked through it, since it has been so long. I may drag it back out for the kids to play... There are "labs" to do with every day objects, and activities. Lab: Take an object, hold it straight out in front of you and let it drop. What natural force have you just demonstrated? Activity: "get everyone wearing braces to smile. Now go for an inspection! See any food in there?....." Questions like: Is broccoli: a root, a stem or a flower? What does a baboon do if it gets thirsty: lick the dew off its fur or get another baboon to pee in its mouth? The most annoying thing is stretching the slime (which comes with it) to mark your progress on the game board. We've long lost the slime, and if I remember correctly it was a pain to use anyway. I think it can be easily done with other game markers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
