My family loves it when we have a family game night. In fact, we love to play them just about every night anyways. We don’t really have a day we dedicate to play games. We just play them when we all feel up to it. I would love to start making a day for game night though. I think it would be great to get my whole family to play together. We are always looking for new and exciting games to play, so when we heard about The Baby Beluga Game, we were very interested.
I’m sure many of you have already heard the song Baby Beluga, and it’s one of my favorites from when I was a child. The catchy sing-along tune was introduced in 1980. Now four decades later, the lovable whale is back, but in a board game. The Baby BelugaGame was created, cooperatively, by Raffi and fair-trade, indie game developer Suzanne Lyons of CooperativeGames.com. It features paintings by Ashley Wolff, who illustrated Raffi’s Baby Beluga book, and comes with a free download of the Baby Beluga song and a 32-page illustrated booklet.
The Baby Beluga Game • Ages 3+ • $34.95
The board game’s goal is simple — players win by helping Baby Beluga and Friends swim wild and free. As they ponder the next move, children from ages 3 to 10 do a little STEM learning, finding out about whales and ocean science in a fun way. Plenty of thought went into every aspect of the game and its contents. There’s even a little canoe to hold game pieces and keep them organized between play times!
Can players help Baby Beluga and his Friends complete the journey to swim wild and free? There could be trouble along the way. But players can win if they work together. This fun cooperative board game teaches children all about Baby Beluga and his Arctic friends as well as the ocean environment and the joys of playing together. The game is lovingly made with fair-trade practices and Earth-friendly materials in California.
My daughters and I have really been enjoying this game. It’s a lot of fun. The first time we played it we ended up losing and were unable to bring Baby Beluga home. We are working on playing more so that we can bring him home finally! It’s a really neat game to play with the kids. My daughters have been having a lot of fun trying to bring Baby Beluga back home. We haven’t managed it yet, but I know we will! We’ve been so close!
When I first got the game, I thought it was going to be quick and simple because of the way the board looked. It’s not that case at all, and I love that because we enjoy games that take some time to win. I also really like that this game is where everyone works together to save Baby Beluga, and either everyone loses the game or everyone wins. Sometimes kids can get upset when they lose, so it’s nice to see everyone works together with this game.
We really enjoyed this game, and hope that you as a family will enjoy it as well. We thought the overall display of the game was amazing. Once you play your very own game, I think you’ll understand why we love it so much and why its great for everyone. You can purchase your Baby Beluga game HERE.
Oh man, this is SO cute. I love Beluga whales, and this would be a blast to play with the kiddos.

Definitely a cute looking game! Let me know if you need more recommendations – we play over 300 different every year!
It sure is! I do follow you, so I check out your games often too!
I love it! We tried to include our 2 yr old in the game (with dads assistance) but he kept taking off with the fish pogs and put them in our ‘fairy pond’. Adorable yet we had to correct! It was definitely a gun game for the older boys though!
It is a really great game for kids of young ages too.
I love games that we can play all together! We organize game night very often, especially in weekends! This Baby Beluga Game is on our next to buy game list!
Glad to hear that!
This is so interesting! We love board games but this one is unique for me.
