5.0 out of 5 stars Great for road trips, March 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Brain Quest: 1000 Questions & Answers to Challenge the Mind/2nd Grade/Ages 7-8/Deck 1 & 2 (Paperback)

My son loved the Q&A format of these cards and we exchanged "high fives" every time he got a "genius point." The cards include a good mix of super easy questions to more challenging ones--all targeted for a specific age level. It would be a stretch to call this game "educational" but the back and forth interaction between quizzer and quizzee provides great family fun. This works very well as a game to pass time in the car or on the airplane.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clubpeck, January 10, 2007

We have been using Brain Quest cards since the 2 to 3 year old pack. They provide a great way to introduce information to your child such as the difference between urban and suburban. They are portable so you can bring them along with you and use them to pass the time. I find that they give us a chance for one on one that is education and at times very funny.

5.0 out of 5 stars Educational AND soooo much fun, August 29, 2009

By 

Island Mommy (Florida Keys) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Brain Quest Grade 2 (Cards)

We take the questions everywhere we go. This is the first thing my then 2 year old took off the shelf in the morning and she went to sleep with them at night. I found my first set of question cards at a yeard sale and then ordered more online. Not only are the questions fun it's also a great way to keep your toddler occupied on a trip. She is now 3 1/2 and we are still not bored with the cards.
