"Scrabble Junior"
(Hasbro toys)
If you like Scrabble, and come from a Scrabble-playing family, I'd say this kids' version is not worth buying. The graphics are ugly and hard to focus on, and the game itself is less than satisfying, and doesn't inspire much in the way of learning new words (particularly since one version of the game asks the players to spell out predetermined words that are printed on the board itself...) Don't sell your kid short: just get a regular Scrabble board and teach them to use that. Your kids are smart enough to play real Scrabble, not some tacky, dumbed-down kids version. (Axton B., ReadThatAgain kids' media reviews)
Customer Review: Good for an age range of children playing together
Summary: 4 Stars
Our whole family could play this game together, which is rare. The 3yr old could place tiles for us on the printed game board by matching letters. The emerging 6yr old reader could recognize the printed words without having to know how to spell them correctly on her own as with a blank board. The 10yr old and adults could just play along without it being obnoxiously simple. This was a great game for a nice family evening. It has potential for the game to get more complex as it also includes a blank game board, which would be good with older children. The game tokens are shoddy tagboard punch outs, my only complaint about this game. Well worth the price, but I would have paid a few bucks extra for better quality pieces.Customer Review: ONE GAME WE HAVE A BLAST WITH
Summary: 5 Stars
my girls are 7 and 5..... my 7yo is at a 3rd grade plus reading level and my 5yo just started reading....we LOVE this game..it is fun... and realy helps with letter recognition and works on strategy.. we homeschool and we play it for an extra fun thing to do. more fun then bogglejr or clue jr.. we do both sides.jr side for a fun change, and the other side for spelling and word building.. the game is never the same.the outcome of who wins is always different even tho the words on one side are always the same.. you do have to work at how you play it to be able to finish the words correctly. you have to play the first letter first then the others following. so it is a challenge .. not boring at all..Customer Review: Our almost 3 y.o. son loves this game
Summary: 4 Stars
Our almost 3 year old son loves this game and asks to play it multiple times every day. He's fascinated with letters and has recently started reading. I thought this game would be a fun way for him to learn a few words. He has already learned all the preprinted words on the board. He has also learned how to take turns and follow the game rules. The only shortcomings that I see are:
1) the cardboard letters and board, which are not very durable or cleanable
2) there should be some alternate pre-printed game boards avaliable to keep the interest level up for a longer time
Customer Review: We enjoy this game
Summary: 4 Stars
I play the easy version of this game with my 6 year old, who is not a fantastic reader and my 4 year old, who has just learnt the alphabet. I can see where the preprinted side would bore advanced readers to tears. But, my 6 year old loves the strategy of the game - deciding what letters to play so that he can get the most points. It's great for my 4 year old because we can talk about sounds and letters without him knowing that he is learning.It would be nice to have some extra letters in case some get lost or destroyed. And plastic tiles would have been nicer than the cardboard used.
