Pickles to Penguins is the quick-thinking picture-linking party game!  Don't fret if the party gets frantic - the guests are probably just having a blast playing Pickles to Penguins - the frantic party game where you link the pictures to win. Get rid of your cards the quickest by figuring out what your cards and the cards in play have in common. Do they share a colour? Are they both things you find in a salad or bring to a party? Exercise your lateral thinking abilities, but don’t be too hasty or you may have to pick up penalty cards for stretching a connection too far. Take a deep breath and let the chaos begin! Hundreds of pictures, but how many can you link together?

Seventy-five million years ago, there really were sea monsters, and this long-necked Elasmosaurus from was one of them. Wild Safari® Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Life were created for the dinosaur lover in all of us. Each Safari Ltd® hand painted figure is designed to stimulate the imaginations of children of all ages.

2 players compete in this game to help the chicken save her eggs! The farmer has collected the eggs and is ready to cook them. Players wear a plastic chicken beak, and attach a magnetic chicken clamp to their pants. Both players compete at the same time and, without using hands, remove the eggs one-by-one from the frying pan and transport them to the safety of the nest. If an egg falls and breaks, the player must start over. The player that collects the most 'unbroken' eggs in their nest the WINNER.
