Show & Tell Game
You've got to love a game that encourages kids to make up their  own (invariably very cute) stories. Show and Tell, which shouldn't take  more than a couple minutes to learn, sends kids around a short,  circular board. On their way, they collect small plastic creatures from  a black drawstring bag that comes with 20 different animals (everything  from frogs to fish and ants to elephants). Various board spaces let  kids share or trade their toys with other players, but the best part is  the storytelling areas: a school, playground, farm, home, and beach.  When players with three or more animals land on one of these, they get  to make up a story involving the scene and their creatures (e.g., "The  ant went to the farm to visit his friend the cow. But the Stegosaurus  decide to eat both of them."). The first player to create two stories  wins.--Paul Hughes
