If you’re headed out to a Chuck E. Cheese location, try playing this game to earn a ticket certificate for your kids before you head out.   It’s really easy to play (and kind of fun….addictive…not that I couldn’t stop playing it or anything.  Ahem.)  and you earn tickets that you can print off and use at Chuck E. Cheese.   I played each game…my favorite was the Chuck E. Rocks game because you use the mouse to catch the guitar’s notes. It was fun! Each game rewarded me with a certificate, usually 30 points (although Skee Ball only gave me 24.)  Each child is allowed to redeem one certificate per day.  This is perfect for me because my son doesn’t usually earn many tickets when we visit Chuck E. Cheese.  This way he still gets to take home a small prize or piece of candy.  It’s also great for those times when your child wants something that is in the next “price” range and you don’t have enough tickets to bump it up.

How about paying it forward—print off an extra certificate and give it to a child who is getting ready to cash out.  Imagine how happy they’ll be to get 30 extra tickets!
