We have classic Scrabble Jr and this Disney version and frankly, this isn't as good as the original. First, you have to add or remove letters depending on which side of the board you are using, which is a pain. Second, there is no free play side as there is in regular Scrabble Jr, so the game can't really "grow" with your children. Third, the words are all disney Proper names, so it really isn't teaching the kids anything. Regular Scrabble Jr is a much better investment.

(and I am a serious Disney fan, so I was really disappointed by this game.)

My daughter received this game for her 6th birthday and we have been enjoying playing it almost every night. It's a great game for a non-reader as the words are spelled out on the board and the fact that most are Disney character names makes it even more fun. I also like the fact that the game board has two different sides - just flip it over for a different game. I've found that it is really helping my daughter recognize words while she is having fun. Its also one of the few games that does not bore the parent! Highly recommended!

Do your kids really need to learn 'words' such as kaa, nala, zazu or kanga? The original Scrabble Junior is a fantastic game for beginning readers, it is educational and fun to play with your kids. This abomination is a despicable attempt to attract young Disney fans without any regard for the real educational well-being of children. Shame on Disney and shame on Hasbro for concocting this manipulative and exploitative waste of time and money.

We are really pleased with this game. It's a great way to introduce the younger ones to Scrabble. Our 5 7 and 8 year old have a great time with it and our 3 year old is even playing and learning from it. It helps the younger ones with letter recognition and the older ones are able to help the younger ones. The kids love the chance to spell the names of their favorite Disney characters. It's fun for mom and dad too, when we get the chance to join in with the kids! Highly recommended -- you won't be disappointed.

This game is great for teaching very young children letter recognition, and differentiating between similar letters, which is hard for some pre-readers (like O vs Q and N vs M) It has also greatly improved our kids' sense of good sportsmanship when playing group games. Yet it's still entertaining enough for us parents, facilitating some excellent family time. A good way to work up to regular scrabble as your kids get a little older.

I bought this for my 5 year old daughter and she loves playing with it and it is really helping her with spelling. Lately this has been my first gift to give any five year old boy or girl. They really enjoy playing it and want to play over and over. The best part of it is the two separate boards that you can play on. Fun for the kids and the entire family.

This game is okay if your child is already a decent speller, but for a child just learning to spell/read I think the regular version of Scrabble Jr. is better. Scrabble Jr. Disney's words are all Disney based and what child needs to learn how to spell 'Jafar' when they don't know how to spell other more basic and useful words. That said, if your child is wild for Disney, this game might get them interested in spelling and reading.

Great Game for young kids! My 6 year old daughter loved it and still plays it occasionally now that she is 8! Easy to learn.

A review given by my 5-year-old son Bilal: "I got this game from my aunt. I like this game because it's challenging. I play with my dad."
