Homeschooling with Board Games: Twister

This evening David is supposed to get home early and Charlie is wanting to go to Walmart to pick up a Game I thought we had but can’t find. Can you believe it’s Twister from Hasbro allowing us to go Old School.

Add a twist of fun into any party or family night with the game that ties you up in knots! This TWISTER game is the classic game with 2 more moves. Give the spinner a whirl and see what’s next as you try to keep your hands and feet on the mat!

Right foot red! Can you do it? Left foot green… you got it! If your knee or elbow touches the mat, or you fall over, you’re out. Be the last player standing to win!

TWISTER game challenges you to put your hands and feet at different places on the mat without falling over! Be the last player standing to win. Two new moves!
