Barbie Games with Ken


One of the most distinctive things I remember about growing up playing Barbie games is how jealous I would get of my sister's Ken doll. She had the Ken doll with the blonde plastic hair while I was stuck with the more stylish. but also more foolish Derek doll. It was the eighties and Derek - at least I think that was his name - ran around with a full head of hair on his head. He had curly hair that I didn't think was particularly attractive. I always preferred Ken's more clean-cut look.

I was sad the day I realized that my mom had cleaned out the closet and given away all of the old Barbie toys. I was able to hang onto a couple of dolls at the time, but I never did see what happened to that Ken doll. Fortunately, I've outgrown my own Ken doll games, but with a niece about the right age, it's only a matter of time before I start buying an entirely new collection of Barbie game and you can be sure that I'll be buying a Ken doll right along with Barbie and her friends.

Barbie Games for School


Looking at the long rows of back to school supplies in the large stores, you can rest assured that Barbie games are doing just fine. How do you know? Why because Barbie games are showing up all over backpacks, lunch boxes and folders. If you can buy Barbie pencils, you can easily count on your favorite Barbie games to be there for you when you need them.

And you may need those familiar Barbie games more than ever as you head back to school this year. Getting in the groove of a new school year can be exhausting, of course, but it’s also a great deal of fun. You make new friends and think of new games to play. But at home, when all of the fun of the day is winding up, you’ll be able to climb in your bed, grab a couple of your favorite dolls and just enjoy the simple peace that Barbie games can bring you.
