Details made available from Hasbro below, and check out Alison Deyette’s Game Closet Organizational Tips here.

GREAT GAMES TRADE-IN

Is your game of Sorry! looking, well, a little sorry? Or maybe the Cavity Sam in your game of Operation looks like he needs to take a trip to the ER. Whether you’re missing some money in your Monopoly game or letter tiles from the Scrabble game, it may be time to replace that worn and well-loved game with a brand new one.

Fortunately for you and your family, the Great Games Trade-In is here to make recycling and upgrading games as easy as can be! We’re looking forward to trading-in our “Game of Life”.

Throughout the month of September, visit FamilyGameNight.com to print up to $83 in coupons, as well as prepaid shipping labels to easily recycle your old games. Deadline: September 30, 2011.

You’ll learn how to recycle your old, worn-out games with Recyclebank to make plenty of room in your freshly cleaned game closet for brand spankin’ new games–tips available here!

The 22 Great Games Trade-In coupon offers can be redeemed at mass merchandise retailers nationwide through October 9. And with all of these savings, you’ll even have extra spending money for treats and decorations for your big National Family Game Night celebration!

RECYCLEBANK

Cleaning out your game closet is sure to unearth some games that are ready to be replaced, such as the Candy Land game that Mom and Dad played growing up, or the Monopoly game missing the racecar and shoe tokens. The Great Games Trade-In is a great way for families to adopt green habits by sending in old games to be recycled.

By teaming up with Recyclebank, the company that rewards people for taking everyday green actions with discounts and deals from local businesses and national brands, Hasbro makes it easy for families to get a fresh, new board game for National Family Game Night while keeping their wallets full and their environmental footprints small.

Most board games include components that are easy to recycle, like cardboard and plastic. By printing a prepaid shipping label from FamilyGameNight.com during the Great Games Trade-In and pledging to recycle your old game, you can earn points with Recyclebank and eventually cash in these green points for retail rewards.

Recyclebank has partnered with a materials recovery center to ensure everything received will be disposed of in a professional manner by qualified personnel and in accordance with industry standards. If it’s recyclable, Recyclebank will do right by it.

My sisters and I enjoy The Game of LIFE because you learn things that can really happen in life like losing your job and how to handle and take care of a lot of money (The Game of LIFE uses thousand dollar bills). To start off in The Game of LIFE you need to choose if you want to “go to college” or “start your career”. Also, throughout the game you have a choice to return to college when it says “return to school” or “go on with life”. There are many more choices in The Game of LIFE just like there are many choices you need to make in life. In life you get married, have kids and become a grandparent well this also happens in The Game of LIFE.

Mama’s Notes

Interestingly, Hasbro has change the life choices in the The Game of Life since we were younger. So, playing this game with different choices, pertinent to life today, is totally different then when we were kids. Then, again Life was totally different as kids (period).

We’re a big board game family, so we’d love if you share your favorite games with us below. Thanks!
