![]() Another says, “It reinforces my 5-year-old’s reading abilities and it’s a good introduction to sight words for my 3-year-old.” Having a board game you can grow with also makes this a smart economical buy, as one user points out: “We will get many years out of this game.” “The 8-year-old can spell and has an advanced reading level he enjoyed the challenge of the game the 5-year-old knows her letters and can spell some words she enjoyed spelling words,” writes one parent. And having the two options means this game is fun for a range of age groups. “The one side is for kids who are reading but who need help to figure out words, and the other side is for kids who are a little older and can make words on their own,” one reviewer explains. The “easy” side is ideal if “They’re not at the point of putting together their own words, but are finding where they can substitute letters in words that exist,” another reviewer explains. The difference between this version of Scrabble and the original is that this one allows kids to play even if they’re still learning how to spell. One 50-year-old customer, who is a self-described “interactive” learner, says she bought this “beautiful” game to learn more about herbalism herself, but she also plays it with her 4-year-old niece: “She is very competitive, so it was great to have a game with a cooperative component … and it is very beautifully illustrated. One parent, who describes the game as “educational and well-designed” summarizes how players have to “gather helpful plants which they can use in case of trouble, like bee stings, hunger, or sunburn” to help each other during the game’s fictional mountain climb.” Another reviewer loves that it helps her kids both avoid “fighting and fussing, and when we hike the kids are finding these plants and they know how to use them.” Dozens of customers also appreciate the board game’s “beautiful” design - which is crafted from all recycled and recyclable materials and printed with vegetable-oil-based inks. ![]() Of this game’s nearly 900 five-star reviewers, more than 50 say that this cooperative board game is “educational,” since it teaches children about 25 edible and medicinal plants, as well as their uses in first-aid situations. One family used the game as an opportunity for “storytelling sharing with each other the activities and events along our journey.” And, since the game ends on “Picnic Island” they “placed a picnic blanket on the front lawn and enjoyed the game on the blanket, often followed by our own picnic.” But nobody loses in this game, so it is a hit.” Another, who writes that the game was a big winner with their family at Christmas, also appreciates that “we all lose or all win together - no poor losers or insufferable winners.” But the fun of the game is searching for city-themed hidden pictures as players navigate through the six-foot board game. Reviewers say that the “collaborative” nature of the game makes for an enjoyable and accessible way to introduce the value of teamwork, like one parent who bought this for their 4-year-old daughter and says, “She usually doesn’t like board games because she doesn’t like losing. The objective of Eye Found It is to move your piece to the end of the board, and no one wins unless everyone makes it to the end. “It is great for family fun night even though it is only for two players,” one writes, while another says, “My 4yo is a little young for it, so we play in pairs (adult with kid teams).” I enjoy playing it with my 9-year-old, teaches her strategy and process of elimination.” And while it is designed for two people, if you have a bigger group, reviewers have found their way around that. “Bought this for my 7 and 9 year olds, they enjoy it for the first half hour,” one parent says. “The two players become quite involved in the game as they try to figure out the position of their opponent’s fleet based on the result of each successive ‘salvo’.” And while it can be a long game, it does hold their attention for at least a little while. “This is a fun game for children and teenagers,” another reviewer writes. “It’s a great game for a variety of ages, easy to catch on, fun to play, and keeps kids occupied a while,” writes one middle-school teacher of this classic board game. ![]()
