Buying
games for my children is usually prompted by a little bit of nostalgia,
I tend to first buy them games I played when I was younger and liked
before something new and unknown. One game from my childhood was a game
from Pressman called Mr. Bucket.
It was actually my younger brothers game but, only being 4 years older
than him, I played as well. It was a game I liked playing with my
siblings because it was just constant movement and chaos, in a fun way.
The
Mr. Bucket game is really easy to learn, its for ages three and up and
you need 2 to 4 players. The idea of the game is to get all three of
your colored balls into the bucket before he spits them out, so that all
of yours are in the bucket at the same time. This is made harder by the
fact that Mr. Bucket is rolling around on the floor, spinning, and of
course, spitting the balls out. If you manage to do all of that, simply
pick Mr. Bucket up off the floor by his handle and he stops moving and
spitting out balls.
You then have time to reset and play again! We tried
Mr. Bucket out on our kitchen floor, I'm fairly sure the carpeting in
out house is too fluffy for the wheels, however I can see the
game functioning on a very low carpet, but working the best on a bare
floor. The game includes Mr. Bucket, 4 shovels (one of each color), 12
balls (three of each color), and the complete instructions for both the
assembly (super easy and fast) and the game rules. Mr. Bucket does
require 3 AA batteries that are not included with the purchase. What I
enjoyed best about this game is that you never know who is going to win.
Although, the kiddos that are a little quicker on their feet will have
an advantage. Mr. Bucket also fits nicely back into its original box
when everyone is done playing.
Mr. Bucket
is a great game to keep kids engaged, and a nice change from video
games that don't allow children to be active. Mr. Bucket will get them
up and moving, and most of all having fun!
