Erin Sluka

Many thanks to Kingdom Faith Marketing Services for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

I found your family Christmas movie and you can head to theaters on November 8 to see it! If there was ever a movie for the entire family that brings back the story and meaning of Christmas, The Best Christmas Pageant is it! Tear jerker warning – happens during the pageant scene!

Synopsis: The Herdman kids are absolutely the worst. They lie, they steal, they bully…and they’ve hijacked the town Christmas pageant. Directed by Dallas Jenkins (“The Chosen”) and based on the international bestseller by Barbara Robinson, THE BEST CHRISTMAS PAGEANT EVER follows six siblings who sneak into church searching for snacks and walk away with the lead roles in the town pageant. Grace (Judy Greer) is directing the performance for the very first time; she and her daughter Beth (Molly Belle Wright) and husband Bob (Pete Holmes) are less than amused. But the play’s mischievous stars might unwittingly teach a community the true meaning of Christmas.

BASED ON A BELOVED BOOK: The newest film from Lionsgate and Kingdom Story Company is based on the beloved children’s book classic book. As of November 2023, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson has sold more than 7 million copies since its publication in 1972.

Buy tickets today to see The Best Christmas Pageant Ever in theaters starting November 8th!

Arcade1Up adds Educational games to Infinity Gaming Devices

When was the last time you enjoyed a good ‘ole board game? How fun would it be to take a tablet and play your favorite games electronically? To save your game as you ended it- no mess or play pieces that go missing. Next up from Arcade1Up is the Infinity Game Board®. So many games- a lot are free on a board with enough storage tp hold all of your favorites. If the game board isn’t enough for you, they also have the new Infinity Game Table®. Pick hour game play!

I have the Infinity Game Board and when I saw Battleship, I had to play! This is one of my favorite games and I did not have top clean up any pegs! The animations and explosions within the game enhance the experience. Missiles fly, ships explode and there is sound and guidance the entire way.

When you play board games, you are typically seated opposite of your opponent at a table, right?Especially in a game like Battleship to keep your arrangement hidden from each other. When you play on the game board or table, you can keep the unit in place. When it is your turn it will face you, when it is your opponents turn, the touchscreen will auto rotate to them.

When you ae done playing- see and save stats. I won, but my accuracy could improve so there is an added challenge as you keep playing your favorites. When done, I pressed power off and that’s it. Bathroom break? Hit pause! That’s the beauty of electronic game play.

Arcade1Up and RosiMosi Team Up

Maybe you need more than Battleship and Sorry! Maybe you need some educational games for the kids too. Arcade1Up has teamed up with educational game creator, RosiMosi. Together, they will introduce a series of educational games for children in grades 1-4 for the table and board. Such games will include 21 fully safe, ad-free games covering key subjects such as math, language, science, STEM, and critical-thinking skills.

Visit Arcade1Up to see all game consoles and fun for your game nights at home!
