Would it be as much fun with just 2 -a parent & child- playing?** A: Our son has a good time playing one-on-one with a parent. He's 7 and advanced for his age. We occasionally have to help him with spelling, but it's definitely doable for 2 people. Our 5 yo even tries to play on his own, but his spelling is virtually non-existent so we typically have someone on his team. **Q: What are the tiles made of?** A: Tiles are made of thick, sturdy cardboard. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by K***M on 30 December 2019* We enjoyed playing this. Children aged 7 & 6 liked choosing the words and trying to work out the best strategy. Great for spelling practice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***Y on 16 December 2022* So many ways to use this game in our homeschool. We use it to practice our list ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***B on 26 May 2017* I have a lot to say about this game- all awesome things, with one suggestion... I thought this game looked interesting and wondered if it would work with the Phonics based program that I use (which includes 70 phonograms, many of which are multi-letter). Upon opening the box, I found it to be a very nicely made, sturdy, tri-fold board, with a good storage container for the cards, although the box seems a little too big for the product. You don't even have to punch out any of the letter tiles and risk ripping them! I loved that the category cards are color coded with one side being more challenging than the other. Both people could play at the same level, or you could level the playing field a bit by having the older person play from the orange side while the younger read from the blue side. Or you can simply let the game grow with their needs and provide many opportunities for play over the course of the child's education. The instructions are written in a way that there are teams, which works because each team has the opportunity to brainstorm together and come to a conclusion (which other skills come into play if they are strategic in knowing what letters they really need/or are close to getting in a round). However, we played one on one and it worked just as well. For the first round, I played it with a 10 year old and noticed that it was going to take a while to get to a winner (capturing 8 letter tiles). I mentioned that maybe we should just play until one of us captured 4 letter tiles and he said, "No, I want to go to 8! This is fun!" KUDOS to Educational Insights when a child is begging to continue! SUGGESTION- in between step #2 & 3, I would recommend that you have the children write down their chosen word (paper/marker board, etc) before they move the letter tiles on the board, instead of guessing while moving the tiles to prevent as many mistakes. It helps reinforce spelling. I also watched a 9 & 10 year old play and they loved it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Educational Insights Word on the Street Junior, Vocabulary & Word Game for Home & Classroom, Ages 7+ - Hasbro Gaming Scrabble Junior Board Game | 2-4 Players | Family Educational Word Games for Kids | Back to School Gifts for Classroom | Ages 5+ - All Things Equal, Inc.
