Product Description

Editorial Review
Think you can come up with a girl's name containing the letters "Q" and "Y" in 60 seconds? Or a food or drink using "H" and "J"? There will truly be times when Wordplay for Kids will be anything but child's play. Designed for players 6 to 12 years, this combo of word building and racing to the finish line invites youngsters to come up with the longest word they can in order to gain the most spaces on the board. The spinner selects the two letters that must appear in the word, the die roll selects the category the word must fit. The enclosed rules are simple and, with one exception, easy to understand (you may want to adopt a house rule clarifying whether or not the word must begin with one of the two spun letters, or merely contain it). And it'll probably take only one fight between the player who composed "Patty" and the "Patricia-Elizabeth" wordsmith, before you'll want to outlaw the use of hyphens. Those preteens can be soooo devious. --Tony Mason

Product Description
Quick, what's a beverage that has the letters "R" and "E" in the name? You've got 60 seconds. Wordplay for Kids is fast, fun and challenging. The spinner provides 2 letters that must appear in the word. A die roll selects the word category to guide the kids along. The category could be: "Food or Drink", "Object or Thing", "Living Creature", "Something in the House", "Boy's or Girl's Name" and "Any Word". Then it's off to the races! In each round, players write down a qualifying word on their game sheet. Everybody who forms a word moves forward, but longer words give you more spaces on the board and earn more points. Includes game board, sand timer, spinner, game pads, game pieces, die, pencils and instruction sheet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Smart, October 9, 2001
By Paula Henderson (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I purchased Wordplay because I am always on the look out for games with an educational dimension. My son (aged 9) seems to have taken quite a liking to it, which is great since he tends to shy away from anything that he says `feels like school'. He loves the spinner in the middle of the game board (a nice touch), and the idea of `spinning to get your letters' (which are then used to form words). The words themselves are left to the child's imagination and vocabulary skills, ensuring that the game remains flexible and interesting. Even when he is not playing with some of his friends, my son sometimes comes up to me and asks that I spin for him (so that he can proudly show me the words he has formed using `my' letters). All in all, very smart. Sometimes the simplest ideas really are the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Smart and Fun., November 15, 2001
By Pamela Thompson (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews
Durability:5.0 out of 5 stars Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This game is clever! It really is loads of fun for kids to play and at the same time (without their conscious knowledge) they are improving their word skills. The game has a spinner, which, off-the-bat makes kids interested. Next, all kids play each round which ensures that nobody has to wait their turn (waiting for their turn in a game to my kids seems like slow torture). Since, they are all playing in each round there is lots of competition to come up with the best and longest word to fit one of six categories (ie. boys or girls name, living creature, food or drink and I can not remember the others). All and All - a smart and fun kids game.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun game; cheap cheap make, October 10, 2003
By Y. Leventhal (Oak Hill, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars Educational:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I played this game with my kids (under 8) and they seemed to like it: it is a spelling game and can be exciting for kids who have just mastered reading and writing. The participating adults can guide the game along, making it a cooperative game, rather than competitive.

The down side--and it is a big down side--is that the game is so cheaply made that it is nearly impossible to play the game: The spin-wheel, which is key to the game as it determines which letter of the alphabet gets randomly selected, does NOT spin at all. I can't imagine this particular part, if made slightly better (say, barely usable), could have cost that much more--this game isn't cheap to begin with.

Frankly, as much as my kids like this game, I feel that my money is not well spent.
