I know we all worry that we don’t spend enough time with our kids. I make a priority to have dinner together nearly every night, and at least once on the weekend, we sit down to breakfast as a family, too. We also love to have a family game night.
But…what if you switch it up and instead of having family game night, have a Family Game Morning over breakfast on Saturday mornings? It’s what we’ve been doing, and it’s so much fun for all of us! We have some of our favorite General Mills cereals like Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Cookie Crisp, and mom and dad learn to play the new Skylanders® Battlecast!
Have you heard about the newest Skylanders® game? Skylanders® Battlecast is the latest game from the Skylanders franchise, but it’s mobile! You can play it on your phone with these fun mobile trading cards.
The cards are both digital and real cards that you use to build your deck and create the ultimate team to fight in online battles. Scan the physical cards into your phone to add them to your deck in the game.
Guess what? You can find Battlecast cards in specially marked boxes of General Mills Cereal — but hurry, it’s only through September 2016! Look for these cereals with the special label:
- Cinnamon Toast Crunch
- Cookie Crisp
- Golden Grahams
- Honey Nut Cheerios
- Reese’s Puffs
Each box of cereal contains a pack of 3 free Battlecast cards. Plus, for a limited time, there’s one exclusive character card inside every participating box of cereal you can’t find anywhere else! They are: Sonic Boom, Trigger Happy, Prism Break and Hot Head.
Would you like to learn all about it before you go head to head with the kids? I got you covered! Watch this video, and you’ll know exactly how to play. It’s really easy!
Doesn’t this look like fun? My kids and I just love it! Learn more about General Mills cereals and Skylanders Battlecast to see if this is something your family would enjoy!

Totally cool idea. We’ve done family game nights but never game mornings. What a great way to get bonding and starting a wonderful tradition. Love the idea.
My son is never in a good mood in the mornings but I think he will love this idea! Thanks for sharing!
Such a great way to spend a little more time with your family every day!
Who wouldn’t want to wake up to a morning like this! That’s so much fun and i would play that game on my own too, if I could. Lol. It’s really awesome to kickstart the morning like this.
This would be an amazing thing to do in the morning.
General Mills makes the best cereals. Our family sits all at the table and eats a great breakfast. Love your ideas.
Wow, I remember when I was a kid. It was magical every time I woke up, cereals have been part of our breakfast ever since.
I love the idea. How fun to mix things up and have a family game party in the morning!
My kids are cereal babies even now they are teens already, A good bowl of milk with cereal is the best even for snacking.
What a fun way to switch it up for the weekends!! We try to do a breakfast at least once over the weekend as well, my kids would love a family game morning!
This is a really cool idea!! I’m sure this is a great way to start off the morning and put kids in a great mood for the rest of the day.
What a great idea! This would be perfect to have family game mornings in the Winter when we are snowed in!
Ooooh! this loooks so amazing. I would love to play this. reminds me of my card battling days as a kid. We had so much fun. It’s certainly a briliant idea.
Skylanders is a game I have never played. But it is pretty cool that you can get game cards in the cereal.
As a fan of collectible or trading card games, this looks like a must have! I went in and took a look and the system looks very playable for all thinking ages. Even if it’s an exclusive from General Mills I don’t even mind, they have the best cereals!
Your such a coo mom. And yes playing with breakfast will sure make your day and their day. Wonderful blog you got right here.
