A Box of Silly Word Games
by Great American Puzzle Factory

I was looking for a birthday gift for a nine year who has everything. I found A Box of Silly Word Games and liked it so much I bought one for our family as well.

A Box of Silly Word Games is just that. It is a cute box that measures approximately 5 x 5 x 5 inches that holds 25 games in one box. The 25 game cards are thick and sturdy. The box also includes a pad of paper, pencil, one minute sand timer and a die.

Some of the games were familiar to us like License Plate Bingo and Rhyme Reply but many were unique like Pluck the Chicken, Clever Q's and Outlawed.

Each game is for two or more players, ages 8 and up. Games take from just minutes to up to twenty minutes and each card tells you about how long the game will take.

This is a great game for family travelers who want to avoid "Are we there yet?" Just add in more paper and pencils for each additional child. It is also perfect to keep on the table for family game night or to pack for camping. This would be a great classroom tool as well for warm ups or independent center time.

I love the compact size that makes this game easy to store in our game cabinet or to throw in our travel bag. Along with Think-Ets, I like this one for waiting time in restaurants. It is also great for passing the time while at doctor's and dentist's offices or while you get your oil changed or tires rotated.

My Viewpoint:
A Box of Silly Word Games has educational games that are fun to play. With 25 games and all the accessories you need in one compact box, it is great for home or on the go.
