Barbie Games and Summer

Every summer, I’m reminded again why I like Barbie games. The simple truth is this: Barbie games are simple and they always make me want to go swimming. It’s a strange comparison, of course, but when you stop to think about it, the best Barbie games always seem to be featuring Barbie in a hot tub or swimsuit. Look through the dolls in the fashion toy aisle at your favorite toy store. You’ll see more than a few Barbie dolls sitting there in their swimsuits. Some even sport fish tales in a true mermaid style.

But the best accessories for Barbie games are not the giant houses. It’s the swimming pools and hot tubs. Check those out in the store and commercials and you’ll know what I mean. When you play with Barbie games in a swimming pool, you’re able to put some water in the pool, line up your dolls and have a regular beach party. It’s fun in a way that a big empty house just can’t be. And if you get bored with the doll party, you can always take your Barbie games into the big pool with you.

Barbie Games and Valentines

This year for Valentine’s Day, I’m going to be a bit ironic rather than going with something more traditional. I believe I’m going to give all of my friends Barbie games valentines. Why, you may ask? I’m choosing Barbie this year for two reasons. The first is that I simply like Barbie. A lot. Who doesn't like Barbie games? The second reason I’m choosing Barbie games is because it’s a bit ironic when I do. How many other girls pick up Barbie valentines at my age? They are too busy baking cookies or buying candy. But not me!

Distributing my Barbie games valentines is fun, of course. All I have to do is tear out the little cards like I did back in elementary school. Then I write a short message to all of my friends on the cards and carefully pick out the right picture for the right friend. Then, once I have my cards sorted, I can distribute them to my friends. If I’m really feeling generous, I might go ahead and put some candy hearts into each card so that everyone can enjoy the fun of sweets and secret messages together this year.

Barbie Games and Pinterest

I’m a recent convert to Pinterest, but I’m already addicted. It’s scary how quickly you can get sucked into the site full of pictures, ideas and plans for others. You might think of crazy cartoons, interesting crafts and that sort of thing when you’re considering Pinterest, but there are plenty of other ways to use the site as well – including showing off some of your Barbie games.

Barbie games are typically played by yourself, or perhaps with a good friend who is over for the day to enjoy some of the outfits you have for dressing up your dolls. But you can now play Barbie games with the whole world if you want to take pictures of your creations and post them online. For example, you can dress up your Barbie games in your own creations and then snap a picture of the costume. Pose the doll, create a great look and let everyone enjoy it!

Barbie Games for Older Girls

You don’t have to be a young girl to really enjoy the spirit of the Barbie games. Barbie games are as old as the hills it seems – they are actually about 50 years old now – and they have had fans for years. It stands to reason then than the fans of old might still be fans today, even if they have to keep their love for the fashion plates rather quiet and out of the public eye.

Fortunately, the newest versions of Bratz games allow you to do exactly that. You don’t have to play with Barbie dolls at your desk in the office to know that they are fun and enjoyable at home in your spare time. It’s not uncommon for older women as well as younger girls to pull up the Barbie games websites at home on your personal computer. You can then dress up Barbie dolls for a few minutes when you want to unwind at the end of a long day or just enjoy the new fashions and styles that these games often have available.

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 and the Preppy Movement

There have been lots of names for the preps over the years. Preppy kids, Preps, Socs (remember the Outsiders?) and who knows what else. But it all boils down to the same thing – the preppy kids are the ones who wear the latest conservative fashions with a trendy bent. They are into labels usually and a particular fit or style of clothing. If it fits well, looks great and has the right label, it’s just the sort of thing that the preppy kids love. And Barbie games have long been the poster child of the preppy movement.

Barbie games have occasionally tried to deviated from a conservative preppy thing, but usually they just fall right back into the same routines. After all, the conservative prep thing really works for Barbie. What’s perhaps the most interesting thing to watch in the conservative fashion games of Barbie games is the actual preppy style. Leotards and leg warmers gave way to boot cut jeans and adorable tops. Boots came and went and high heels are forever. Barbie games are simply an ideal expression of preppy fashion choices.

Barbie Games and Romance

How many of us got our first taste of romance from Barbie games? This was immortalized in Toy Story 3 when we got to watch Barbie and Ken get together for the first time - even if that went sour in the middle. But even without a movie showing us the two are made for each other, we already knew that Barbie games include more than fashion - they include passion as well.

Stop to consider the different dolls available. There are endless princess dolls in the Barbie collections and there are more than a few brides and formal dresses. You can't have a bride without a groom and every princess has her prince or at least a guy to help her across the royal ballroom floor. So that means that every Barbie game that includes a girl probably has a boy somewhere that needs to fill in for important roles. It's no surprise that Barbie games are romantic - we're the one who used to make the dolls date and kiss after all!

Barbie Games and Long Car Trips

There is something promising about a long car trip. Sure, it might get a bit boring in the back seat from time to time, but wise parents know that the best way to beat boredom is to start a game for the kids riding back there. And what better game could possibly be available than the Barbie games that are so affordable and available?

Before you start your car trip, swing by the toy store and look for the Barbie games that are on sale this week – there are always a few new games on sale. For less than twenty dollars, you can walk out of the store with two new Barbie games and perhaps some accessories as well. Wrap up the dolls and present them to your young passengers before the car trip actually begins. A few miles into the hours of driving and you’ll be pleased to hear the laughter and fun coming from the backseat.

High School Musical Barbie Games

If you love High School Musical, it’s great that Barbie has found a way to expand the fun indefinitely. The movies might only last a couple of hours, but when you play Barbie games with the characters from High School Musical, you’re in Wildcat territory for as long as you want.

The makers of Barbie have created dolls for all of the major characters in both of the High School Musical movies. Collect them all or just one and you can make up your own story lines and happy endings.

Do you think things should have ended differently or you’re just dying to know what happens next? With your dolls, you have the chance to make the story play out any way you want. The best part of all is that you don’t have to keep the High School Musical dolls all by themselves.

Let Sharpay grow out of her nasty phase and she can be best friends with your other dolls. Whatever you decide, the characters will keep you in high spirits and most likely leave humming a catchy tune.

Barbie Dream House

One of the Barbie games offered on her website is creating Barbie’s dream house. This is a great deal of fun, but how do you know if you’re really creating Barbie’s dream house –could you be creating your own dream house instead?

Wherever you live now, I’m sure you’ve dreamed of a house that is designed just for you. If you haven’t there is no time like the present. In fact, creating Barbie’s dream house might just be the first time you’ve ever thought about how much fun it can be to pick out the location of stairs and balconies in a home.

Now that you know how much fun it is, you shouldn’t stop. Start a collection of drawings that show off your plans for your dream house. Get together with friends and design a house together that you can all live in. It doesn’t matter that it likely will never happen, this is all about dreaming, right?

Balconies, indoor swimming pools, personal libraries, elevators, and so much more are all at your disposal. Put in whatever you want, and then sit back and dream a bit of what it will be like when you’ve made enough money to really build a dream house.

Plan a Party with Barbie Games

Thinking of having a sweet birthday party but can’t seem to settle on the perfect theme? Why not do a throw back to years gone by and have a Barbie party this year. If you love Barbie, and who doesn’t, you can find all kinds of great party ideas and items online or in stores.

Start with the plates, napkins, cups and other basic items. You can buy basic ones in a pink Barbie color, but it’s always more fun to go for the gusto with a full-on Barbie theme including pictures on everything. Barbie cake tastes much more fun eaten off your plate with Island Barbie’s smiling face.

When you’ve got the basics, you’ll need a centerpiece for your table and other decorations. This is where your Barbie collection comes into play. Grab your Barbie convertible and steer it onto the table with Barbie at the wheel. Arrange the rest of your Barbies and accessories around the table and room – even your Barbie Dream House if you can make it fit somewhere.

Finally, you’re going to need some cake. Head to your local bakery to see what Barbie concoctions they offer with the rest of the kid cakes. If you can’t find one there, there are plenty of Barbie cake options offered through the Barbie website or on a specialized cake website.
