Nothing really brings my family together like a good old fashion board game. Goliath Games’ newest educational game, Wordsearch Junior is the sequel to the successful Wordsearch! game. The junior version teaches reading, spelling, matching and sportsmanship. With three learning levels, children as young as 4 can join in the fun by matching patterns and can then move up to words with picture clues, while older children can play with word-only clues. Game includes 6 matching pattern puzzles, 6 words-with-picture puzzles and 6 word-only puzzles for years of learning and fun.
Here is the basic set up. The big round blue circle spins to reveal a pattern to find on the board.
Here is what one of the patterns look like.
Whoever finds the pattern first grabs the blue squeaker and squeaks it. That person then gets to place their color markers over the spots. The person with the most of their color when the wheel has been spun and all the patterns for that game are used up wins.
Here is the game board in action.
The really great thing about this game is that it has multiple circles to change up the game based on the player’s ability and to keep the game fresh.
Here are what some of the more advanced boards look like.
Big Sis at 4.5 years old is not yet reading so we stuck to the wheels that had no letters on it. She quickly caught on how to play and she is definitely learning more about patterns and quick thinking. Sure Husband and I might have taken it a little slower than if we were playing by ourselves but we didn’t just let her win. We want her to learn to play and be a good sport. She enjoyed playing and we really cheered her on when she got the pattern first. This is a great game that will grow with her over the years!
