I Can Do That! Is for kids ages four through eight and is designed for two to four players, making this an ideal family game.
Innovative Game Gets Kids Moving
This is not your traditional board game. I Can Do That! comes with imaginative props inspired by the classic children’s book The Cat In the Hat by Dr. Seuss, as well as a deck of color-coded cards that provide funny, challenging activities.
To start, a player picks one of each of the three color cards. Taken together, the cards create a fun and funny activity the player is challenged to do. For example, Card 1 could read “Take Four Giant Steps,” Card 2 “With the Cake,” and Card 3 “On your head!” Each card also has one, two, or three stars on it for score keeping purposes. If the player wants to take the challenge, he says “I can do that!” and proceeds. If he succeeds, he keeps the cards in his own scoring pile. If he doesn’t think he can do the activity, he can re-draw until he gets an activity that he can do. But watch out: if he draws a “Stop!” card, he must give up his cards and end his turn. The player with the most stars in the scoring pile wins the game.
Creative, Funny Activities Build Confidence
The beauty of this game is in its simplicity. Easy-to-follow instructions and super-easy assembly ensure that your family will be playing in no time, with minimal frustration — a must for the enthusiastic, shorter attention spans of younger kids.
We also love that this game goes beyond traditional board games to get kids up and moving. This is great both for energetic youngsters who lack the patience to focus quietly and for children who need a bit more motivation to get physical. Kids will have a lot of fun balancing, crawling, leaping, and skipping with the whimsical props. They’ll enjoy watching each other, and they’ll learn to compete in an entertaining environment.
We also love that the game’s structure encourages kids to challenge themselves, while the option of drawing and re-drawing cards still gives them the choice to play at their comfort levels. The simple, generalized game instructions are open it to many variations, and the instructions actually encourage families to customize the rules to their children’s abilities and desires.
The only concern we had was with the game’s durability. The foam pieces definitely won’t last as long as your vintage Monopoly set. But on the plus side, the flexible, soft props guard well against injuries or mishaps.
What’s in the Box
One deck of color-coded cards, foam and plastic props, and instruction card.

The idea for this game is fun, but when I played it with my 3 1/2 year old daughter, she got a kick out of it, but it was a little awkward. The game also does not last very long, which might be a good thing for kids around this age.

ATTN: GRANDMAS! YOU HAVE NOT LIVED UNTIL YOU’VE CRAWLED AROUND THE THINGAMASTICK WITH THE FISHBOWL BETWEEN YOUR ELBOWS!!! BUT, your grandchildren with laugh with glee while watching your ole’ bones suffer to do it! Great game (for CHILDREN……..)AND it can help teach them how to read as they put cards together to make a sentence (which tells what they (you?!) have to try to do. My two little granddaughters’ favorite game, at present.

I bought this game for my 2 and 4 y/o kids (and a few extra for upcoming birthdays). I can’t begin to mention how wonderful it is. First, a game like this offers quality family time. Second, it teaches turn-taking, rules, and accomplishment.
To play, pick one of each color card – it tells you 1) what to do 2) with ______ item 3) in location. (Jump 2 times/ with the cake/ on your head). The cards are very easy to “read” – each shows you what to do. The pieces are made out of foam – easy to hold and balance, and no damage if it falls.
I love the rule setup: If you don’t think you can complete a task, you are allowed to pick again until you find one that you can. However, the game also emphasizes that you can change the rules to suit your needs. In my case (since my child is 2), I find it easier to play 2 rounds per person. My children are very proud every time they get to complete a task.
My only complaint is that it was significantly cheaper to buy straight from Amazon than 3rd party. Otherwise, it is a wonderful game for all ages.
