I think we have these for every Grade Level. My girls love to test each other and us. These are small and compact which makes them great to keep in the car or the RV when traveling. I don't think I will every get rid of them. These help refresh us parents minds also!

Using Brain Quest is a great way to stimulate the mind and learn a great deal.

I use Brain Quest in an adult education class by dividing the class into teams and using the rules of the TV show "Family Feud."

It is exciting to see the students engaged as a team in attempting to answer the questions correctly. We do it for about 45 minutes on the last day of class each week, and the students love it. They discuss the "game" all week and look forward to the next competition.
