Hello and welcome to The Week Junior Show.

I'm Bex and I'm joined by writers Eve and Joe from The Week Junior,

the magazine Making Sense of the World for 8 to 14-year-olds.

This week, the team will be talking about an incredible mission around the moon,

a stolen sports trophy and a wiggly bum dance performed by bees. Make sure you're listening

closely because at the end of this episode, we'll be asking you a question about what you've heard

and if you answer it correctly, you could win a prize. But more on that later. Now, this week's

big debate is about whether board games are better than video games. So I want to know, of course.

What's your favourite board game, Eve? Well, mine was introduced to me by my friends a couple of years ago, and it's called

Sushi Go, and you basically play in a group, and everyone has cards with different, like, items

of kind of sushi food on them, and then you have to collect cards for the most, the meal that has the most points. And it's so fun. And I remember one year, my friends and I went on holiday and we were just so obsessed. We'd played it every day. And every time we would go out to the beach, we'd all say, oh, should we go back in and play sushi go? Because it was just that good. So I love it. I have played sushi go. I have played that one. And it is really fun. I remember getting immediately involved, partly because of my love of sushi, but also because it's a very, very playable game. Yeah, that's a great shout, Eve. How about you, Joe? I quite like Articulate, which is a game where someone has to describe something without saying the name of the thing itself. and other have to guess what it is. And I've checked and there is a kid's version available for any listeners who fancy giving it a go. But a quick shout out to Scrabble 2. I was on holiday with a friend a couple of weeks ago and we had a couple of really intense games of Scrabble in the evening, which were really fun. and it's actually not a game I've played that much during my life, so really enjoyed it.

Oh. of really intense games of Scrabble in the evening, which were really fun. And it's actually not a game I've played that much during my life, so really enjoyed it. Okay. Yeah, no, Scrabble is one of the big OG ones, I would say. That's a good shout. I think I'm more of a kind of card game person. So Uno is a classic. We love a bit of Uno. Uno reverse. Big shout out to that. But also a game called Camel Up, which is not a card game. It's about racing camels around a board. That's always really fun to play. But my favourite one recently is a game called Flip 7, which I think is new. And basically it's a card game. And in the deck of cards, you've got 12 number 12s, 11 number 11s, etc, etc etc and you have to get seven cards in a row of different numbers it sounds easy and it is not and it is very very fun

so I think for my my current one I'd go flip seven but you know what guys I think a board game

night of Scrabble sushi go flip seven that'd be pretty fun I'm up for that so we want to know what your favorite board game night of Scrabble, sushi go, flip seven, that'd be pretty fun.

I'm up for that. So we want to know what your favourite board game is. You can send us an email right now to hello at theweekjunia.com or leave us a voice note at funkidslive.com slash the week junior. Just grab a grown-up, look for that big red button and record your voice. Now, if your voice note is played out next week, you could win a week junior roving reporter badge. And last week, we asked

listeners what circus skills they'd like to learn. We got an answer here from Lulu.

Hello, my name is Lulu, and I'm 10 years old. A skill that I would like to allow us to go on

the tightrope because I am a gymnast and I go on the beam. Bye. Love your show. Yes, Lulu. Thank you. We love that love your show, but we also love the idea of a gymnast learning the tightrope skills. That is excellent. And you know what, Lulu, I think, you know what, if you're a gymnast already, it's probably pretty doable, I guess, with guidance and help from your teachers, of course.

We had another message here from Sarah.

Hello, my name is Sarah, and I would love to go on the tightrope,

because I want to conquer my fear of heights,

and I just think it would be very exhilarating.
