Bop It

We’ve had an old bop it lying around for years. It’s always good fun and gets used in fits and spurts…but it’s always been too hard for our two little boys with it’s five different actions.

Therefore, I was really excited when I saw this new version with only three different hand actions of bop it, (of course!), pull it and twist it, because I thought the boys should be able to manage those. AND, of course, they’ve gone and added a SHOUT IT – what more could a little person want than to get to legitimately make some noise?! This has been such a hit in my house. Our five year old was managing to regularly get scores over 10 after just a few goes which he’s soooo chuffed about, and although it’s still a little hard for our little one on his own, the two of them are playing games together where they have two of the actions each and it works a treat! I’d highly recommend it for kids age 5 or 6 upwards…although of course with the shout it, you won’t be getting much peace even if they are playing nicely! For adults, or people used to the bop it with more actions, this may be a little easy…but hey, still good fun!
