"Was Claude Monet a painter, a jazz musician, or an Italian dictator?" "Name four of the seven colors in the spectrum." Questions like these are sure to get your child's mental gears meshing while playing the Brain Quest Game for grades one to six. The object is to be the first player to finish a race around the game board, designed to mimic a school playground, by correctly answering questions from the Brain Quest cards. Each of the 256 cards contains questions and answers in categories such as math, science, social studies, English, and grab bag (a euphemism for cultural literacy). Brain Quest's folded cards prevent the I-saw-the-answer-on-the-back problem while allowing even the player asking the question to guess the answer.

A great resource for classroom teachers, homeschoolers, and anyone who has enjoyed E.D. Hirsch's books on education (A Dictionary of Cultural Literacy), the Brain Quest Game is a non-threatening yardstick for measuring learning areas that might need attention. It's also the perfect showcase for helping children to display--and feel great about--how much they already know. Younger kids will enjoy the Brain Quest Game for preschool and kindergarten. Brain Quest is for two to four players. --Julie Ubben

Amazon.com Hands-On Review

Learn about colors, numbers, letters, and shapes with the Red Rover Game from Mattel. This electronic interactive game challenges up to four players aged 3 years and older to find the bone marked with the correct sticker depending on the color, the number, the shape, or the letter. The friendly "voice" of Red Rover guides players through game play and encourages learning during the process.

Red Rover Game Ages: 3 years and up Requires: Phillips screwdriver (for battery installation) What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: A fun and encouraging way to learn about colors, numbers, shapes, and letters. The Challenging: The limit of 12 bones may cause a loss of interest after several rounds of game play. In a Nutshell: A stimulating interactive game that encourages learning.

This adorable toy puppy plays interactive, educational games with up to four players. View larger.

Players race to collect Red Rover's twelve bones, testing their memory skills. View larger.

Learning is a Blast!
Red Rover is a brightly colored plastic dog-shaped game unit that interacts with players. To begin play, 12 bones are spread face-down throughout the playing area. A player then touches Red Rover's rubber nose to select which game to play. Depending on age and skill level, players may choose between the Puppy Color Game involving only colors, or they may choose the more advanced Big Dog Challenge, involving colors, shapes, numbers, and letters.

Red Rover's friendly voice informs players which bone to search for via a large speaker integrated into the back of his head. Players can check to see whether or not they've grabbed the correct bone by placing it inside of Red Rover's mouth. If they're correct, Red Rover announces a new bone to look for. If the player chooses the wrong bone, Red Rover encourages them to return it to the play area and continue looking for the correct bone. By using positive encouragement, Red Rover makes learning fun and helps to keep children encouraged, even when they've gotten the answer wrong.

Let's Play!
The Red Rover game unit is a friendly looking red plastic dog that features a speaker integrated into the back of his head. This speaker is loud, making it audible over a large area so that players across the room can keep track of the game play action. An integrated backpack-shaped storage compartment neatly holds all 12 bones, and rubber pads on Red Rover's base keep him from slipping or tipping over.

With no assembly required beyond the insertion of three AA batteries, Red Rover is designed for durability. His hard plastic body protects the interactive computer that controls game play. Although the design is simple, it does take some practice to get the placement of a bone in Red Rover's mouth just right so that he responds appropriately. This can be done by wiggling the bone around until he audibly acknowledges whether or not the correct bone has been chosen.

What's in the Box
Red Rover game unit, 12 plastic bones, and game play instructions.

Preschoolers run to find the right bone and feed it to Rover€”if they're right, they keep the bone€”if they're wrong, Red Rover encourages them to go back and find the right one! Whoever helps Rover the fastest wins!

Chutes and Ladders

Product Description

Amazon.com

Be the first to move your child-shaped playing piece from square one to square 100 on the Chutes and Ladders game board--but watch out! If you land on the square that shows you ate too much candy--Ouch!--you get a tummy ache and slide down a chute to a square a few numbers below. But if you end your turn on a good-deed square, such as helping sweep up a mess, you'll be rewarded by a ladder-climb up the board.

A fantastic follow-up to Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders is ideal for younger children who are still learning to take turns and just beginning to recognize numbers (the spinner stays in the single digits). It's also a gentle introduction to the higher numbers as players climb to 100 at the top of the board. And, thanks to all those chutes and ladders, it's got enough excitement to keep your 7-year-old on the edge of her seat. English and Spanish instructions are included; no reading is necessary to play. Chutes and Ladders is for two to four players. --Julie Ubben

Product Description

This delightful game is simple and easy to play, even for children who can't read. Fun pictures help kids understand the rewards of doing good deeds as they climb up the ladders-and the consequences of naughty ones as they slide down the chutes. For 2 to 4 players. Game includes: game board, spinner with plastic arrow and 4 pawns with plastic stands.

Create Working Electronic Circuits
Snap Circuits comes with over 30 pieces to create 101 different electronic projects. The pieces, which include snap wires, slide switches, an alarm circuit, a music integrated circuit, and a speaker, snap together easily on the included plastic grid--no soldering required. Each piece is numbered and color-coded to make identifying them easy. These components combine to create working circuit boards just like the ones found inside televisions, radios, and other electronic devices.

Simple, Fun Projects Let Kids Learn While They Play
With its easy-to-follow instructions, Snap Circuits gives your child a hands-on education in how electrical circuits work to run the everyday devices that they're familiar with. They'll also gain valuable lessons in building and in following instructions. The project manual includes large color illustrations and simple directions for each project.

The projects include a sound-activated switch, a musical doorbell, a voice-controlled lamp, a flying saucer, and a light police siren. With these projects, children will experiment with things like electric switches, integrated circuits, digital circuits, fuses, and the transformation of circuit sounds into other sounds.

Grow as You Go
Because the projects are arranged in order of complexity, kids can build on their skills as they progress through the manual. The lessons start out with a simple electric light and switch project that demonstrates how electricity is turned on and off with a switch. Further along, kids can put together a two-speed fan, create clap-controlled sounds, and more.

Design Your Own Circuits and Upgrade Your Kit
Once children have mastered several of the techniques introduced in this kit, they can use the components to experiment and create their own customized circuits and electronic devices. The Snap Circuits Jr. SC-100 can also be upgraded to the Snap Circuits SC-300, Snap Circuits Pro, or Snap Circuits Extreme with the purchase of a UC-30, UC-40, UC-60 upgrade kits, respectively.

And try not to land on the spilled bucket or--you guessed it--spill the contents of your basket or you start over. --Alison Golder
