physical exercise while promoting social and cognitive skills, one to

with two bonus games, Treasure Hunt and Memory Mouse-ke-TAG, for
additional playtime.

Realistic Disney Character Pieces
The colorful Mouse-ke-TAG parts and detailed pieces will interest
children right out of the box. The lightweight, easy-to-hold Clubhouse
tagger is shaped like Mickey Mouse. Its durable frame features
easy-to-push buttons on the front for turning it on/off and choosing
games and levels. The four Mouse-ke-friends, Mickey Mouse, Minnie
Mouse, Goofy, and Donald Duck, fit firmly into each base and stand up
well. The four friends each have fun, colorful details with an engaging
expression.
The game does contain small parts and is a choking
hazard for infants so it's not appropriate for children under the age
of three. The battery compartment is safely secured with a screw. The
speakers are located in the front for very good sound quality.
Advice for parents: you will need a small Phillips head screwdriver to
insert the "AA" batteries. Be sure to follow the directions for battery
ribbon placement in order to easily replace old batteries with new ones.
Simultaneous Learning and Physical Exercise
It's easy to set up the Mouse-ke-TAG game; simply spread out the
Mouse-ke-friends and place them upright on their bases. The Clubhouse
tagger calls out different clues depending on the level setting and the
player runs to "tag" the correct Mouse-ke-friend by placing the tagger
over it.
Children can play Mouse-ke-TAG individually and try
to beat their own time or play as a team of up to six players. You can
place the Mouse-ke-friends as far apart as you'd like; it's an
excellent way to provide some physical exercise, even indoors. Each
level promotes a different learning skill: name recognition, learning
colors and letters, and recognizing descriptions. All levels develop
listening skills and hand-eye coordination, while the group game
promotes teamwork, sharing, and turn-taking.
Disney Character Voices Brought to Life
Goofy, the narrator for the Clubhouse tagger, is friendly and
appealing, while the voices of Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, and Donald
Duck are true-to-character. Kids already familiar with Disney
characters will enjoy this realistic detail. Goofy instructs the player
on choosing games and levels so it's very straightforward for children
to start a game on their own.
The only drawback: there is only
one volume setting for the Clubhouse tagger. However, the sound quality
is very good and the characters are easy to understand.
Two Bonus Games for Additional Fun
A Treasure Hunt game and Memory Mouse-ke-TAG are included with the game
and provide added entertainment. The Treasure Hunt game is a modern
twist on Hide-and-Seek. One player hides the Mouse-ke-friends and as
Goofy's voice calls out a Mouse-ke-friend, the second player explores
the area to find the hidden piece. Goofy lets the child know how long
it took to tag all four friends. The treasure hunt game helps teach
social skills like sharing, and promotes physical activity.
Memory Mouse-ke-TAG promotes basic memory and listening skills by
asking the player to recall the sequence of Mouse-ke-friends that the
Clubhouse tagger calls out. Level one is simply the Mouse-ke-friends
names. Each level after one adds something new to remember, such as the
Mouse-ke-friend's voice, details of their clothes, and letters in their
name. You child can play this bonus game individually making it a good
travel game.
