do you have this game?
it is the new addiction around the downey house among adults and children.
it is like the game password where basically you choose a category and it generates words and phrases.
then you are timed and have to try to get the other person or your team to say as many as possible before time runs out.
cole can't even read and pretends to be playing it by making up his own hints to make believe words.
we also played it the other night with heather and john and it was a blast...even more fun after a drink, LOL! anyway that is my useless information for the day!
back to work!
I love that game!

I love this game. My friends used to play in college at parties while drinking. Drinking definitely adds to it. LOL.

My kids turned me on to this game. Now we host game night with my kid's friends playing Catch Phrase! It is great fun!! Shelley

See you in three days! Yay!

OMG - yes! I have it and it makes an appearance generally on the holidays. It's a trip and my family goes nuts! We tend to get waaaay excited yelling and saying "Thank You" to one another when we guess the correct answers. It's pretty funny. Enjoy! Oh, and if you really want to intrigue your kids...get 20Q. It's a very eerie and cool electronic 20 questions game that will surprise you at how it can guess what you're thinking. Try it for sure.

We love catch phrase. It's been a family favorite for years. The best part is that if you can read you can play (works for so many age groups). We also love that the teams don't have to be even. When we play it at big family get-togethers, someone can leave and come back and not hold up the game. So much fun!

I've never played, but just had to say how lucky your kiddos are to have beautiful wavey hair, which apparently they get from your dh:)

have it! love it! don't get to play it enough since family and friends aren't very local... tip though, it's much more fun when you have a few drinks in you ;o) (well, when you're playing with the adults *lol*)

that game is a favorite in our house- we have catch phrase junior too and played it in sons 4th grade class for a party- fun stuff! Another fun game to check out is Mad Gab- that is crazy fun!

That game sounds wicked fun. We'll have to get it. Must be harder with made up words though...LOL

What a neat game. I should get one for my FIL. He's addicted to the Game Show Network and loves a good game. I think you just solved my dilemma for a father's day gift!

Will have to give that game a try. Our all-time favorite game is Guesstures! We play it every time we have a large get-together and every person who plays it at our house ends up buying their own! Very fun!
