Globonz

Globonz Review

I purchased several Globonz sets for kids ages 8-14 to play with in groups during a summer class during which we explored real and mythical animals. Turning the Globonz sets into a game made it more fun for everyone.

I simply made up some spinners (purchased blank at an education supply store) with categories as follows: Add a bone from your pile; Add a bone from someone else's pile; Remove a bone from the creature; Draw a bone from the fossil bin; Skip this turn. Then I had each player draw 3 bones from the "fossil bin" just as one might draw 3 cards from a deck. The players took turns, spinning and adding/subtacting bones (or drawing from the fossil bin if they couldn't move) until they had completed a symmetrical creature. Then they had to make up a name for the creature & describe its habitat, what it ate, and any special skills it had.

As a group activity, this was really fun. And the best part was turning off the lights and making the bonz glow. However, as an individual activity (or even a group activity without the spinners), I think kids would get bored of it more quickly.

In short, purchase the globonz, and then find a way to make a game out of it!
