Good morning, welcome back to our series called #HomeschoolWithBoardGames: Flying Kiwis a game I was sent a while ago and forgot we had until we cleaned out my office.
After looking at the Game I knew my nephew Jason would enjoy playing Flying Kiwis with Charlie. So I’ve set it aside until Lily and Jason come over to play.
In the meantime I wanted to prepare the Lesson Plan/ Unit Studies so Charlie could do the work and be ready to play Flying Kiwis when they come.
Flying Kiwis Ages 6 and UP
2-4 Players
The kiwis want to go on vacation, but what are flightless birds to do? It’s your job to help sneak them inside the fruit crate so they can catch a ride to paradise. Using your ramp, aim carefully and launch your kiwis into the crate to help disguise the birds. Group the kiwis of your color in a line or a square to make sure they hitch a ride with their friends along the way! This high-energy, fast-paced launching game is fun for the whole family! Skills:
