5.0 out of 5 stars Mind wars junior is a BLAST!, January 22, 2005

This review is from: LP GAME: Mind Wars Jr. (Toy)

My 7 and 6 year old LOVE their new game, mind wars junior. It is like trivial pursuit in different subject areas, like language, math, physical science, life science and social studies...to give you an idea, it has questions dealing with various subjects, like Christopher Columbus, gases, elements, Antartica, Martin Luther King Jr. and lots more.... My kids didn't want to stop playing it is very easy to hook up, all you do is plug it in your system set the board on the leap pad, turn it on and play... It is very EASY to understand and they even have a repeat button, and volume control on the game, all the kids have to do, is go around as many spaces as the game tells them after they push the button, then they answer various questions, and first one to close all 5 subject windows wins! There is multiple choice, and also true and false questions...lots of fun! :) Very happy with this item! Keep up the awesome work leap frog! I loved watching them play... I give this a DEFINATE 5 star rating! Next, I will have to get the one for older kids....3rd grade up....

I gave this to my son for his 6th birthday, and it was a big hit with him and some friends who stayed late after his birthday party. They all hated to quit playing when it was time to go home! Like the other reviewer said, it was the first thing my son wanted to do when he got up the next morning. He even likes to play it alone. It spans across such a variety of subjects. My son is homeschooled and is advanced in math and reading, but he's on grade-level for other subjects, so there was still plenty to challenge him in this game. Some of the adults who were observing the kids playing this game said they even learned some things themselves! It is truly a great and FUN educational tool, and it's a nice supplement for any homeschool family to enjoy, as well. Because the game includes random rewards and punishments, like losing one of your completed "windows," it helps to balance out when an adult and child are playing together. It makes it still possible for the child to beat the adult. That's a great characteristic of this game. I highly recommend this for everyone. I also purchased the regular Mind Wars game for older kids so I could put it up for future use. At $6.98, this game is an absolute steal!

I gave this to my 6 year old on her "gotcha day" and she plays with it daily. She prefers to play with me and not alone, but it's a great game. Next year I'm likely to go the next level for her. I highly recommend this as a great game!
