Description
Ideal 4-Way SpellDown Game is a fun and educational game that will challenge your reading, spelling and word-creating skills by simply using the letters on the dice. The game starts by each player laying down all (10) of their wooden keys on the 4-Way SpellDown unit. The first player presses the dice popper in the center of the game board and the 2 letters popped must be converted into words by combining them with the letters on your keys. For example, if you pop a "M" and a "U", you could spell "MUNCH" by flipping an "N-C-H". Flip up whichever letter key is down. Be careful though, an opponent pops a double red letter they can make all your keys go back down. The first player to flip up all 10 keys on his or her side of the playing board wins the game. Ideal's 4-Way SpellDown game is designed for 2-4-players,measures 10.25-inches by 1.5-inches by 10.25-inches. Includes a wooden game board, dice popper and instructions. Recommended for children 6 years of age and older.
Review Highlights:
Think Boggle meets Scrabble. I like this game a lot for many reasons. To start with the materials are solid wood, not primary color painted plastic. The letters can't get lost because they are attached onto the game board. This is the perfect solution for so many games on the market today. Finally, 4 Way Spelldown will teach your budding speller to think creatively and critically about spelling both simple and multi-syllable words. Great learning game for the classroom, home or family!
