So McDonald’s sent us the BIGGEST Happy Meal box we’ve ever seen. The babes thought we’d won the lottery. ‘Can we open it now? I’m excited!’
McDonald’s had actually invited us to take part in their Family Fun campaign, highlighting some fantastic family activities at their restaurants throughout summer and beyond.
As you know, Babes about Town is all about doing fun and cool things with your family. Every school holiday, I put together a Cool List of Things to do in London: from urban beaches to adventure playgrounds, giant water slides and open-air cinema. There’s always so much to explore, including these great Family Fun Days from McDonald’s!
Family Fun at McDonald’s
I was excited to learn McDonald’s are launching their new Family Fun Days at restaurants around the country. The aim is to help parents and kids enjoy more quality time together.
One of the things we love doing as a family is dining out at popular restaurants around town. But no matter how many fancy spots we visit, those familiar Golden Arches are a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. It’s great to know that McDonald’s is stepping up its game to create a better overall experience for families.
Our McDonald’s gift package came with games we could try at home. Watch the video to see the babes in action. My boys are officially bonkers (I blame their father).
The box featured games from Family Fun Days taking place at selected McDonald’s restaurants (use their to find McDonald’s Family Fun happening near you). Activities include: Snakes & Ladders, a Happy Spotter board game, Who Am I?, and a Happy Card game.
Most of these games can only be played inside the restaurant; but kids are welcome to take home the activity placemat, a Family Fun certificate, and super cute clip-on animal mouths (as modelled by Jed in the video… roar)!
I’m pleased that none of the games are electronic because it’s another way to keep your kids unplugged and engaging with the people around them. Who Am I? was a hit when we played it at the babes’ grandparents. We had some good laughs watching Granddad trying to work out he was Taylor Swift!

We often play guessing or riddle games at the table at home to stop the kids wanting to watch tv so it’s great to see that MacDonalds has recognised family fun times in their restaurants. Looks like you all had lots of fun!! Great review Uju x
Looks great – love how much McDonald’s has improved their menu and now the toys!! Looking forward to checking it out.
I loved the video! I can’t believe how big your boys have gotten, they’re so well spoken they’d make great presenters in a few years ☺
I’m looking forward to seeing some of these games in action at McDonalds
Yay, love this so much, those glasses suit you girl! Jez and Ezra are stars as always! Love hearing about all the activities too, will be visiting xx
We love a cheeky McD’s every now and again. You guys look like you had SO much fun – how funny is E’s face when J is trying to guess the name?! xx
Ooh yeah, make mine a Quarter Pounder with cheese thanks ;-) And lol, I thought we’d be there all day with Jed trying to guess by the letters! x
Hehe quite fetching eh, and in my fave colours too ;-) We really had fun with these activities, such a great idea and another way to keep them off those gadgets! x
Aww what a nice comment, the boys are growing too fast for my liking! But yes I do think they’d be good presenters… on a show that allows them to express their randomness lol x
I know it’s quite impressive how McDonald’s keeps stepping up, and now you can get it delivered too! Glad you liked it Laura x
Yeah it’s a brilliant idea, I love playing Who Am I and it’s good to have more than your regular colouring sheets to keep the kids entertained too x
Jed and Ezra are superstars! And you are a natural, girl! The activities and games sound so fun – must check it out before the summer is over. xx
LOVED the video, you must have had so much fun! We love McDonalds and it’s great to see all the activities they have come up for kids at their restaurants xxx
