Wee Bods™ Pirates hands twelve poses to kids roughly four to eight and whichever grown-up ends up walking the plank. Walk The Plank is exactly what it says — one of you pushes, one of you wobbles convincingly; Ello Polly turns one player into a mermaid and the other into a parrot, wings very much required; Ching Shih asks two of you to become the greatest pirate who ever lived, which is a lot to ask of someone who still needs help with buttons. It plays on whatever screen is nearest, no eyepatch or cardboard sword required, just ten seconds to strike the pose before the camera catches it. Auntie Zeffie judges every attempt, but she's soft on this crew — even a half-hearted cutlass swing earns a kind word in the Wee Bods™ range. Part of the same family-friendly set as space, the farm and fairytales, so the treasure hunting doesn't have to stop here.

How it works

  1. The card flips.
  2. You've got 10 seconds for the two of you to work out who's what and make the shape together.
  3. Bods! The camera catches it, Auntie Zeffie scores it and judges you.
  4. Share the result, or don't.
