Amazon.com Review

If only all children had someone as friendly and daring as red-haired Ryan the Lion to guide them through all the new learning necessary for successful kindergarten days in the classroom. Cheerful, slightly daffy Ryan can be found on nearly every question card in these two Brain Quest decks--whether he's eyeing some delicious red licorice as he demonstrates numerical concepts ("Which will buy more candy: the penny or the nickel?") or cautiously approaching a bird's nest as he skydives into treetops (in a correct-the-narrative-sequence episode).

While kids are bonding with Ryan (and enjoying the cool construction of these slick, bound decks), parents will thrill at the range of fundamental academic skills and common-sense information that their children will pick up from these fun-to-guess cards. It's all here: questions about the alphabet, spelling, vocabulary, counting, spatial concepts, the physical sciences, as well as demonstrations of right from left, safety rules, and names of computer equipment. There also seems to be the perfect balance of "easy" and "hard" questions in this huge sampling. Kids feel both capable and challenged with Brain Quest, and thus stay with these decks for a long time. (Ages 5 to 6) --Jean Lenihan

5.0 out of 5 stars Brain Quest cards, August 4, 2006

This review is from: Brain Quest Kindergarten (Cards)

We love the Brain Quest card sets. We have several sets for our 5 and 3 yr-olds. Their size and the fact that the cards are secured together make them perfect for slipping in a purse or backpack. They have proven invaluable when waiting in restaurants. The only problem we've had is getting the kids to stop playing when the food comes. We've also played so much that they have several of the sets memorized so it would be nice to have more sets within each age group.

These are great stocking stuffers. My daughter received hers the Christmas before she was to start Kindergarten so she could become familiar with the curriculum.These became her favorite flash cards. It also opened doors to teaching things she didn't know like time. Highly recomended

I bought this for my 4 year old daughter, and she LOVES it! (She had the Pre-K version before this and loved it too.) The best benefit is that she is challenged with more difficult questions, but they don't hit the fustration level for her. This set has improved her learning A LOT!
