I thought I might get bored of it easy. However, Amazon has a great price and with free shipping now less made this worth trying. We've played this game almost every day since we've bought it. The non complicated rules make this game fun for the whole family. Our 6 year old ...             ThinkFun Zingo76 reviews ThinkFun ThinkFun, 2006 Great product! When I called my sister to see how her son (5 years old) liked this gift, she laughed. Apparently he burst into tears upon first seeing it because it wasn't another super hero action figure. She sat down with him and his older brother (6 years old) and they played a round and they've been playing it daily ever since. She also mentioned that her 5-year-old tends to be a bit of a sore loser and ...             Wild Planet Hyper Dash91 reviews Wild Planet Wild Planet, 2007 LOVE IT!! My son just got this for his birthday. I wanted him to have a game that was not only fun, but that he could learn from. My son has autism and my goal for this game was to work on his listening skills and turn taking. It's funny how he doesn't listen when I tell him something but when this game talks, he listens. He had a ball running around to all the targets. My son hasn't spent that much time ...             Bananagrams84 reviews Bananagrams Bananagrams Liven Up Game Night We just broke this game out two weeks ago and have introduced all our friends to it. We like that we can all play at the same time, that the person who goes out first is seldom the winner and that there really is a level playing field. Great Game!             Blokus Classic302 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2007 Blokus What a terrific learning tool. They play this game for honing math skills in school and the kids absolutely love it!             Cranium Hullabaloo178 reviews Hasbro Hasbro My girls love this game. I have 3 girls very different in age (10,9, & 3). They all love this game. It is one they can play by themselves or with others. Ususally the older ones don't want to play the "little kid games" but this one they don't mind because it is fun for them. The game helps reinforce colors and shapes, but is mostly silly, and she loves that. I don't recommend many games, but this one I do.             Quiddler170 reviews SET Enterprises Inc. SET Enterprises Inc., 2007 Word Game I play this game with some of the students that I tutor and they love it!             Five Crowns116 reviews SET Enterprises Inc. SET Enterprises Inc., 2007 Family Fun! My Mom rec'd Crowns as a bday gift. I loved it so much that I bought it for myself!! The game's directions are simple but yet it takes strategy to win. It's great fun! Not your typical card game. We haven't gotten bored yet. The more the merrier! But my favorite aspect of Crowns is that just 2 people can play. So, when it's just me and my fiance, we can still enjoy the game! There aren't too many ...             SET Game172 reviews SET Enterprises Inc. SET Enterprises Inc. Great for your 6-7 year old, and UP! Set is about pattern-making, but the patterns touch 4 different categories: shape, color, number and shade. My 7 year-old learned the rules in a few minutes, and we were quickly playing. It's an enjoyable, addictive game, but also requiring concentration and focus to succeed. I highly recommend for the game-oriented family with kids 6+.             Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100104 reviews Elenco Electronics Inc Elenco Electronics Inc, 2006 definitely better than most "lab kits" My son got this kit for his 10th birthday six months ago. Both of his folks are electricians, so he naturally has a lot of curiosity. It's seen hours of use, by a bunch of boys ages 8 to 10. On the down side, one of the pegs on the board has snapped off (doesn't affect performance), and the speaker has been a bit troublesome (sometimes loud enough, sometimes too quiet). On the up side, the ...             Pass the Pigs126 reviews Winning Moves Winning Moves, 2006 lots of fun for 6-12 year old kids, and adults too My boys get a big kick out of playing this game. I love that it comes in its own portable case. We had a similar one years ago that came in a big box. It also is good in learning to add but I'd say the educational value isn't its main positive. It's just a fun thing to toss pigs on the table and see how they land. We even take it to the nursing home and play it with the residents and they love it ...             Blokus Trigon30 reviews Educational Insights Educational Insights, 2007 Great Game Love this game. I sometimes even play it by myself, the brainteaser way. Still trying to come up with some good strategies for winning. Overall, tons of fun.             ThinkFun Rush Hour Jr.40 reviews ThinkFun ThinkFun, 2006 Best kind of rush hour! Great thought-provoking item for all ages!!! But more than anything I appreciate the fact that I can trust Amazon.com to send the item I purchase to me and in a reasonable amount of time. I am still awaiting some games I purchased from Gameoutfitter over a month and a half ago. Even with continual e-mailing back and forth, I have not been successful. (however they have charged my account!) ...             Bananagrams Set with 100 Best Anagrams Listing Copyright 2008!5 reviews Banangrams with copyright 2008 Anagrams listing Banangrams with copyright 2008 Anagrams listing Bananagrams with Anagrams The Bananagrams game is incredibly addictive and is a very educational medium for kids 7 years or older. A lot of fun! In hindsight, I would not have spent the extra $1.00 for the photocopied paper of "100 best anagrams".             Flinch31 reviews Winning Moves Winning Moves, 2006 Great Family Game I learned to play this game when I was about 5 years old, and it is even more fun now than ever. Very easy to learn, very fast paced if you want it to be, and great fun for everybody. If you are looking for somthing new and fun for the family or friends, try this.             Family Time Fun Dinner Games and Activities3 reviews FamilyTime Fun FamilyTime Fun Great Fun! We just got this game and are having a blast with it. It doesn't interfere with our conversation, it ends up giving us even more to talk about and lots of laughs!             Family Time Fun Beginner Dinner Games7 reviews FamilyTime Fun FamilyTime Fun The whole family loves this game! We have had so much fun with this game. We love to play games at dinner so this allows everyone to participate. We recently had family in town and played young and old alike. Everyone had a blast and my son is learning a lot about taking turns, following directions and playing fair. I highly recommend.             ThinkFun Rush Hour141 reviews ThinkFun ThinkFun, 2006 Great game you can play by yourself! This game is very appealing to boys because it has cars, but also very educational because it is puzzles to solve which uses reasoning! My son (5)has the JR. version and really likes it! It also comes with a storage bag that I love and its easy to take with you.             Sequence for Kids47 reviews Jax Ltd Inc Jax Ltd Inc, 2006 Can't recommend it enough Playing structured games is a good way for a child to learn many skills, including counting, matching and the beginnings of strategic thought. This game is excellent because it can immediately be played even by a two-year-old, although not with perfect strategy. The game, in other words, allows for some growth of the player without growing old. Some of the things a young player will gradually ...             Qwirkle10 reviews MindWare MindWare, 2007 A hit! I will let Thomas' Mom tell it: "Thomas loves the game. He stay up late to play today and we have to cut it short. He asked to play again tomorrow after school." This was for his 6th birthday.              search for toys and games 2008, activities, anagrams, bananagrams, beginner, blokus, circuits, classic, copyright, cranium, crowns, dinner, family, flinch, games, hullabaloo, hyper, kids, listing, pass, planet, quiddler, qwirkle, sc-100, sequence, thinkfun, ticket, time, trigon, zingo toys & games:    Kindle - Amazon's New Wireless Reading Device This is the future of book reading.
