Our family loves to play games together, but it can be trying at times to ensure “fairness” and a good time had by all when youngest member of our family, Adam, feels he’s playing at a disadvantage. Who wants to play when you’re youngest and you think you might lose? Mom has same problem, owing to a competitive streak formed in early childhood.

We’ve recently discovered a new product that takes away this dilemma and ensures a fun family gaming experience. Newly released from folks at bEQUAL, in partnership with DreamWorks, Madagascar Animal Trivia DVD Game will be a hit with your entire family.

I recently took time to play game with my sons, ages thirteen and ten, and can vouch for game’s educational and entertainment value, but I thought I’d let boys chime in and share their own opinions. To preface their remarks, I’ll say that these are some astute gamers – they’re not easily entertained by gimmicky products, and they bore easily with certain video games that are too easily mastered. We tested game both on our home television and in our car’s rear DVD player.

Here’s what boys had to say about Madagascar Animal Trivial DVD game:

Adam – 10 years old: “This is a family trivia game about animals and it’s played on a DVD. Its theme is Madagascar, a new computer animated movie for kids. This game, in my opinion, is great for kids, even as young as five years old. I learned lots about animals playing this game.”

Moms-to-be always need things like diapers and wipes, undershirts, bath accessories, and feeding supplies. Second baby showers could actually be a “sprinkle” shower. A "sprinkle" shower is where guests buy only necessities rather than having a full-blown shower.

You could also consider finding out from mom-to-be what she wished she had but didn’t get first time around. Then add those items to suggested gifts. It could also be a “Bear Necessities” theme decorated with all sorts of bears for shower for second baby.

You could have baby showers for second baby for a caboose baby, or a baby born much later than other babies. Might be very similar to a first time baby shower. Most likely, if there are many years between babies, these parents no longer have any baby items and will be in need of all types of gifts for second baby showers.

For moms-to-be who already have enough for baby, you might consider having a “mom” baby shower where everyone brings a baby shower gift for mom-to-be instead of for baby. These can be items with which she can pamper herself, or items that she may need while she is in labor.
