Our kids LOVE their Curious George Game & you can WIN one too!
Our kids go through phases of only wanting one show until they’ve seen every episode a million times and then move on to the next one. We have been in a Curious George phase for months now and when we were sent a Curious George Super Helper game to review I knew the kids would be thrilled. Here is a short description:
“You can be a neighborhood Super Helper just like Curious George! Volunteer at the firehouse, pitch in at the restaurant, or help tidy up at home. Flip over three cards to see who needs help. Chose where you want to help—at home, the firehouse, or the restaurant—then drop the ball, coin, or cube into the tower and try to make a match! The bouncy ball, flippy coin, and dice cube tumble through the roof of the tower and magically come out on different sides. The player who helps the most wins the game.”
All three kids like playing the Curious George Super Helper game but I like to play just one on one with them. Its a nice game that is fun to look at and play. The amount of time it takes to play is perfect and I like that some of the game cards ask you to “say something nice to someone” or “promise to help put the game away when done”. The kids like that you drop game pieces down through the building and they come out at the bottom (we sometimes have to drop them a few times to get them in the right spot but the kids don’t mind). Jamie is still young for it since she isn’t 3 yet but the boys are 4 and 6 yrs and they both seem to be good ages for it.
This game was a perfect fit since the kids love Curious George and love playing board games! I like that the I Can Do That! games are designed to help build self-esteem in kids. The other games are Curious George-Discovery Beach and Curious George-Hide and Seek Animals (plus I Can Do That! makes Dr. Seuss games too).

I like them both from the sound of them,but I think the Super Helper game might the one most needed in our family. To boost self esteem , I try to catch the kids doing something good and point out how proud I am that they did that….
The Hide-And_Seek Zoo looks right up my daughter’s alley.
To boost my girlie’s self esteem I often try to notice when she’s trying particularly hard at something and even if she doesn’t succeed, I’ll praise her effort and hard work.
I also take her out for periodic reward-ish dates and talk about how proud I am that she’s a great big sister, etc.
Unfortunately I’m in the UK, but I’ve got a few friends on my forum who are US or Canada based so I’ll tell them about this
i’ll write a post and let you know (I’m on http://my.bounty.com)
My kids LOVE Curius George (even the albumn by Jack Johnson.. strange..)so even though I can’t enter I think I’ll get something for them anyway. thanks for the review!

The Super Helper game would be very helpful (and fun!). We tell our daughter how proud we are of her and that we love her and that God loves her too!
The hide and seek animals game sounds so fun – thats my choice. I try to help my son’s self esteem by making sure to spend some cuddle time with him every day and tell him that I love him. Thanks for the chance!
I would love the Curious George Hide And Seek game. That really looks like fun. I think praise is very important and I do try to praise my grandchildren a lot. I never say anything to them in anger that I would later regret. Thank you so much!
The only link I could get to work was the one for I Can Do That. It looks great. I’m sure my son would love the hide and seek animals. He is very into animals right now! I think one of the best ways to build self esteem is to “be present” with your kids. I work full time and miss my son like crazy. When I am with him I make sure he knows he is the most important person in my life and I make sure that I am focused on him and not on other things (like stressing about work projects). I think spending quality time with them goes a long way to building solid self esteem. I also give him hugs, kisses and tell him how much I love him!
The Super Helper game sounds just right. To build self esteem in our son we acknowledge when he is channeling his energy in a positive way.
I think the Discovery Beach sounds fun!
I allow my son to try and accomplish things on his own and then I praise him constantly for the effort and the successes.
I think the Curious George-Hide and Seek Animals looks fun! We build self-esteem in our kids by letting them make as many of their own decisions as possible.
I would love the Curious George Super Helper game for my daughter. She absolutely loves Curious George!
Lately, I’ve been having my daughter help with laundry. I think it really helps her self-esteem when she knows that she was able to help me by matching socks
I like the curious george discovery beach game. We love playing games in our family and this one looks great. We help build self esteem by trying praising good behavior instead of criticizing bad behavior. It isn’t an always easy or do-able but positive reinforcement works better and makes them feel good about themselves.
I would love to win the Super Helper curious George game.My middle child adores curious george and this would be perfect for him. I try and help my childrens self esteem by encouraging them to try and do new things and that they should never give up, it always pays to work hard and try your best.
K would love the Hide and Seek Animals game and he really loves Curious George right now. To build self esteem with K we try to stay away from the phrase “good try”. You know how parents always say that when a child almost catches a ball or almost completes a task. Instead we like to praise what he did well in the action. Such as “I like the way you brought the ball to you when catching it”. That way he knows he is capable of achieving the task and that he is already learning.
I would like to win the discovery beach game. I try to build self-esteem by constantly encouraging them. If they have a good support system at home I think it really helps outside of the house.
I would choose the Curious George Super Helper game. To boost my son’s self-esteem, we let him do a lot of things on his own, so that he realizes he can figure things out by himself!
To help build my kids self esteem, I give them chores to do. Accomplishing something on their own helps build their confidence too. I would like to win the Curious George Hide and Seek Animals
The Curious George-Discovery Beach looks fun. I try to have her do non-competitive things like cookding. And acknowledging any help she gives.
I think the one that we would like the best is the Curious George Super Helper Game.
To build my grandson’s self esteem, I always praise him when he does something kind or helpful; or he really tries at something.
My grandchildren love Curious George and would be so thrilled to get one of these games! I think they might like the Hide and Seek game the best. Thank you for this opportunity!
I think my daughter would love the Zoo Hide and Seek game, she just loves Curious George!! We make sure we tell our daughter how proud we are of her everytime she does something good or helps out around the house.
We would love the Hide and Seek Animals game. We try to build our little one’s self esteem by giving his positive reinforcement and encouragement. We also do our best to have him try things on his own, and show how happy we are that he tried, rather than emphasizing that things be perfect. Thanks for the chance to enter!
I’d like to try Discovery Beach with my daughter. She loves the Curious George books as well as the show on PBS. As far as self-esteem we try to gently encourage our daughter to do things by herself, from dressing to coloring her own pictures. Even though she sometimes gets frustrated, she feels so proud when she eventually accomplishes her goal and we tell her we are proud of her as well.
The Curious George Super Helper game caught my son’s eye right away! We love CG…and the positive message he carries!
We try to always tell our kids “good job,” even if their task isn’t 100% completed or done perfectly. We reward them and build them up verbally for trying their best.
Thanks,

All the games look great! I think the Super Helper is the one we’d like if we win. I am a big believer in letting kids explore freely and try things themselves to develop confidence and practice new skills. I love it when I can say — you did it!
I would love to win the super helper game. To build self esteem I praise my child when she overcomes difficulties

The Grinch – Sing Your Heart Out! Game i do a sticker reward system for a job well done
The super helper game sounds great! Our little guy is still young, but we build self esteem by giving him manageable fun tasks and helping him rather than just doing them for him if he gets stuck. Then we praise and congratulate him a lot when he accomplishes things. He’s big on self-applause, so self esteem isn’t a problem yet.
We would love the super helper game. My kids love Curious George. How we encourage building self-esteem is by praising good behavior-especially unprompted behavior (ie helping sibling without being asked, sharing a toy, etc) Helps us all be more positive. =0) Kelly
I think we would like Curious George-Hide and Seek Animals.
we tell him how how we are when he tries to do something or cleans up

I love the Curious George Super Helper game. My son would love that it has the word “super” in it!
I love the hide and seek animals. I always try to tell them that they do well because they are working hard instead of just telling them they are good at something or they are smart. They have self-esteem in if they work at something they can get good at it.
I think my son would love the Curious George Beach Discovery game. He LOVES Curious George. I like to tell my son that I really appreciate it when he tries hard or when he does his best. Even if he doesn’t do something correctly, I praise him for trying & working hard.
Thanks!

We love Curious George too! I would love to win the Curious George-Hide and Seek Animals game for my children. What I do to build up self esteem in my children is I have a reward system when they reach their goal of reading a book or other things it is like a celebration for us we have a goody box and they get to choose an item from that box.

I would like to win Curious George – Discovery Beach Game.
I always complement my grandson.

My 2.5 year old daughter is all about hide and seek- so the hide and seek zoo game would be perfect for us! I think giving children a task and then thanking them for a job well done is a great way to build self esteem. I think our daughter feels like a part of the family, a sense of accomplishment, and good about herself when I ask her to do her ‘job’ like unloading her dishes or silverware from the dishwasher!
Hide and seek animals is the one I would like, and I always offer words of praise and encouragement to my daughters to build their self esteem

I think my daughter would really like the Curious George – Super Helper Game. I’ve been trying to build her self-esteem by encouraging her to “try again” when she thinks she can’t do something by herself that I know she can do. That way when she succeeds she is really proud of herself! Thanks!
We build self esteem by listening when the girls are talking and allowing them time to finish their thought/comment/story.
The discovery beach game sounds like fun.
Super Helper looks great! Thanks!
I like the Curious George Discovery Beach game for my son. I read and make sure to hug and show my son affection and praise him every day to build his self-esteem
My super helper Spencer would love “Curious George Super Helper game” He and his 2 older sisters are big George fans. This nearly 3 year old love helping mom and dad with the laundry. We listen to him attempt sentences and give him every opportunity to do things himself.
I hope this wasn’t too late. It’s 10:16 MST
Thanks
My nearly 3 year old Spencer would love “Curious George Super Helper game” He and his 2 older sisters love George. He is my laundry buddy. He can name which piece of clothing belong to which family member. We repeat things he says so he knows we understand his growing vocabulary.
I hope this is on time its 10:26 MST
Thanks
