5.0 out of 5 stars Played the most, December 1, 1999

We got this game when my kids were 3 & 5. This one comes off the shelf more than any other game. They can play it without help, it is easy for newcomers to learn. It's a good ice breaker, and it's great for the neighborhood gang. The board and pieces are in good shape but the box has been stepped on too many times. It prepares kids to think and develop ideas before presenting to a group. They laugh and have fun while practicing for school and career.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kids on Stage, November 26, 1999

We have owned this game for several years and even our youngest (just turned 3) understood and enjoyed the game thoroughly. Kids act out the cards like a regular charades game, but the cards do not require reading and are definitely fun for all ages. This was one of the first board games our kids played more than once and it continues to be a favourite, even with our 9 year old. I would highly recommend it!

This review is from: Kids On Stage (Toy)

We bought this game five years ago for our then 3 yr old son. Not only was it his favorite game, but it is now the favorite game of his little brother, who is four. In fact, he even plays it with his imaginary friend! The game is basically charades for kids who can't read yet. It's relatively non competitive. On each turn, a player spins the spinner, advances the number of spaces to a colored spot on the board, draws a card of the same color, then has to act out whatever picture is on the card (a bird, a flower...). It is great fun to play with your child-- hilarious what they come up with to "act out" on their turn. (Imagine a 3 yr old acting out a refrigerator!) Frequently we have to cheat and look at the card while they are acting, to make sure we can figure out what they are doing. Our whole family enjoys playing this with the little ones.
