Family Game Night with Code Names: Disney

July 20, 2018 by Side By Side Learning Leave a Comment

I am a massive Disney fan! The shows, the music, the characters, the merchandise. I love it all! When the opportunity came to host a Codenames: Disney party sponsored by Usaopoly and Tryazon I jumped at the opportunity. I mean, come on, it’s Disney!

Family Game Night Codename Disney
I received a free copy of Codenames: Disney for review but these opinions are my own.

Family That Plays Together

As a family we love to play games together. During the summer we especially love to play with our extended family. We all have a blast together.

I have so many memories of sitting at the cabin playing games while my grandpa watched an old western. Now, grandpa goes to bed earlier but we still play games late into the night. This year I brought Codenames: Disney to join in our fun and it did not disappoint.

I have previously played the original version of Codenames and I had a blast with it. There are a couple of differences with this version that make it a little bit more kid friendly which was great for us and our extended family.

Differences between the Original and Disney Codenames Edition

Original:

Words on both sides of the cards
One set of challenge cards
Codenames Disney cards

Disney:

Words on one side and an image on the other side of the card. The picture is usually related to the words but they are not always an exact translation. For example: A picture of Pinocchio in a cage with a long nose has the word lie on the back. The picture of Pocahontas has the word wind on the back. The old beat up truck from Cars has the characters name, Mater, on the back.

There are two sets of challenge/key cards. One set has 16 cards with 5 squares associated with the challengers, 6 squares for the opposition and 5 neutral squares.

The more difficult set has 25 cards. In this set they have included a game over card. The teams have 8 challengers and 9 opponents and 8 neutral squares.

Little Kid Friendly

When we played with our young kids (6 and under) we used the image side of the card and allowed them to use multiple words to describe the cards their team was looking for. We also made it so that if they guessed a wrong card that the point wasn’t given to the other team they simply just didn’t score.

Even our four year old had tons of fun! Under 8 is probably too little to think of clues for multiple cards but younger kids would be able to say something related to a card. Reading the key would be a huge challenge for younger kids but I believe around 8 years old they would be able to figure it out. We choose to play Codenames with the kids as guessers and the adults gave the clues. That way we could made sure to give clues that they would be able to recognize.

Playing with Grown Ups

When playing with grown ups and big kids we played with 25 cards and used the word side of the cards. Using the words is a little more open ended and gave us a little more of a challenge. When we played with the images I found that we kinda got stuck on the image instead of thinking outside of the box a little more.

Playing with older kids and grown ups was much for fun for me but the littles loved the game so it really was a good fit for everyone. That is as long as you’re all Disney fans.

I don't understand what's happening in Ukraine. I' I don't understand what's happening in Ukraine. I've got the basics and a million more questions. 

I'm not going to attempt to teach you about what is going on currently. I'm here to tell you that there is time to learn and grow in understanding.

As a homeschool mom, I've had a magnifying lens on what I don't completely understand. I could pretend to know answers, skip the hard topics or I could join the lessons. 

Today I choose to join my kids and learn about the Soviet Union. After discussions with a friend I realized that it was a hole in my own education and it was stopping me from understanding current events.

We have a long ways to go but I understand more. I count that as a win.

How are you adding Ukraine into your life this week?
Ruby's courage and bravery is absolutely mind blow Ruby's courage and bravery is absolutely mind blowing. I am in awe of this little girl that walked passed groups of angry people and managed to focus on her studies.

Did you know that Martin Luther King Jr and Anne F Did you know that Martin Luther King Jr and Anne Frank were born in the same year?

These two faced discrimination based on their color and religion. They were treated as second class citizen's and both changed the world with their words. Reading about their similarities and the struggles they faced was eye opening and a great way to discuss how we are not alone in our trials.

"No one could kill the way Martin inspired others. Just as Anne's words will never die."

How do you teach your kids to do what is right even if the law tells them to behave otherwise?
