Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Is that someone brushing their teeth?, shuffling papers?, or is it a person rubbing their hands together? Give your answer quickly because the clock is ticking and time is running out. SOUNDSCAPE JUNIOR asks kids to put their best ear forward to deduce what they are hearing. Kids are all familiar with the sound of a 'key turning in the door' or an 'airplane', but can they identify the sound with no visual hints? During each round, players jot down their guesses on their game sheet. The more sounds guessed correctly, the more points gathered in the round. Pop in one of the two CDs and you're ready to go. The CDs are narrated by kid announcers presenting each sound. Includes 2 CDs with over 200 sounds, game pad and instruction sheet.

This review is from: SOUNDSCAPE JUNIOR - CD Party Game (Toy)

I bought this game for a long car trip and it worked like a charm. This is a tougher sound identification game for kids than others out there. The sounds are not obvious and kids have to think a little to try and decide what the sound might be. The sounds are introduced by a group of kids on the CDs. For instance, the kids on the CD present a sound a few times, then they start counting down so that the players have time to write their guesses down on the scoresheet. The sound is played 3 times. Each time a sound is played, the kids on the CD encourage the players to listen carefully and not be fooled. Two CDs and many, many rounds of sounds come with the game, so I am saving the second CD for the next car trip. I am guessing this would be a fun game at birthday parties.

This review is from: SOUNDSCAPE JUNIOR - CD Party Game (Toy)

The only two commands I think I had to give my youngsters (eight and eleven) before setting them down to play this were: "SSSH! and LISTEN". Very little prodding was needed, and once the first Cd started playing they were captivated. The two voices (one boy and one girl) acting as the sound effects Presenters are adorable enough to make any parent melt like butter (or maybe I'm just a softie). Where can I send my kids to audition for the next set of CDs?

This review is from: SOUNDSCAPE JUNIOR - CD Party Game (Toy)

I purchased Soundscape for a 5-hour road trip. It turned out to be fun for the entire family. Yes, the countdown can be slightly annoying; however, nothing a simple lowering of the volume can't fix. Surprisingly, my 3-year-old seems to be better at the game than my 6-year-old. Even as adults, my husband and I aren't able to guess them all correctly...which makes it more fun. This game was a nice break from movie watching and is especially great because even the driver can participate.
