Take the Million Minute Family Challenge™
Play Games & Save on Holiday Shopping
Beloit, Wis. -- Patch Products today announced the start of the 4th annual Million Minute Family Challenge™! Participants can now begin logging game-play minutes at www.millionminute.com. New for this year, everyone who logs game-play minutes will receive a 20% discount off games, puzzles and toys ordered through www.patchproducts.com.
The Million Minute Family Challenge is a grassroots effort encouraging interaction and communication among family and friends through playing board games. The goal of the Million Minute Family Challenge is to encourage 1,000,000 minutes of game-play!
"When selecting games, parents should look for those that are challenging, but allow for success, and also leave room for a variety of play," says Richard E. Bavaria, Ph.D. and vice president of education for Sylvan Learning Center. "Good games nurture a child's ideas and imagination, while growing with a child's changing interests."
Patch Products along with Million Minute Family Challenge supporters Sylvan Learning Center, KOA Kampgrounds, USO (United Service Organizations) and Great Wolf Lodge Family Resorts are encouraging families, friends and organizations to spend time together interacting, communicating and playing a board game. Everyone can participate by logging game-play minutes at www.millionminute.com from now through December 31, 2004. The web site is filled with fun ideas on how to participate, games to play and educational information including the benefits of family time, the history of games and how to use games in the classroom.
Patch Products, headquartered in Beloit, Wis., is a leading manufacturer and marketer of family entertainment products. Board games, card games, puzzles and foam sports toys are the core product lines. Visit www.patchproducts.com.
