Follow your nose and sniff your way to the vast Garlic Marquee where you can sample bizarre concoctions from garlic beer to garlic ice cream. If this sounds too terrible, don’t worry: the Garlic Festival between 14-15 August embraces all of the island’s produce so expect hundreds of stalls overflowing with succulent meats, dairy products, fruits, and juices. Be prepared to loosen your belt for this unbeatable food fest. Escape the crowds: Enjoy the charm of woodsy Maine in northeast USA during a five-day festival celebrating this state’s claim to fame – lobster. At the Maine Lobster Festival between 4-8 August, be amazed as 20,000 pounds of fresh, delicious Maine lobster is cooked to perfection right in front of you. Tuck in as you soak up views of scenic Penobscot Bay. With parades and fun runs, including one race where contestants have to speed across 50 partially submerged lobster crates without falling into the chilly Atlantic – all on the menu, this is a true family-friendly festival. Flower Festivals Join the crowds: Discover gardener heaven at the Chelsea Flower Show in London starting on 25 May.

We’ve got a suggestion: Kill that boredom with some great board games. We went to game expert Lizzy Palmer of Barston’s Child’s Play in the District and asked for suggestions. All the games you see on this page are a ton of fun, she said, and there are sure to be at least one or two that you don’t already have. Enchanted Forest Ravensburger Ages 6 and older, 2 to 6 players, $24.99 A classic memory game. Take a winding path through the forest and check under the trees for fairy-tale treasure. Remember what you saw so that when you need a particular treasure you can go back to that tree to get it. Cool rule: You can split your dice (骰子) roll — for example, move five spaces in one direction and two in the other to land at the right tree. Jungle Speed Asmodée Ages 7 and older, 2 to 8 players, $25.99 This is a fast-paced shape-recognition game. A wooden totem (图腾柱) sits in the middle. Players flip (翻) over cards one at a time. When your card matches another, be the first to grab the totem so you can give your card to the loser. But be careful: Some cards look the same but aren’t! Maptangle Borderline Games Ages 7 and older, 4 to 6 players, $24.95 This clever take on the classic game of Twister challenges your gymnastic and geographic skills at the same time. A huge floor map of the world serves as the game board. There are lots of geographic elements: countries, oceans, rivers, deserts, even man-made landmarks. A deck of cards tells you where to put one foot, then the other. The round is over when someone falls. Go Fish for Wildlife Birdcage Press All ages, $9.95 Birdcage has several decks (副) of cards that are more like trading cards. You fish for sea creatures, reptiles, wild animals. Each deck has instructions for several card games, and each card has great photos and fun facts. Great for a trip.
