The spinner provides 2 letters that must appear in the word. A die roll selects the word category. Then it's off to the races! Longer words give you more spaces on the board and earn more points.

Editorial Review:
Think you can come up with a girl's name containing the letters "Q" and "Y" in 60 seconds? Or a food or drink using "H" and "J"? There will truly be times when Wordplay for Kids will be anything but child's play. Designed for players 6 to 12 years, this combo of word building and racing to the finish line invites youngsters to come up with the longest word they can in order to gain the most spaces on the board. The spinner selects the two letters that must appear in the word, the die roll selects the category the word must fit. The enclosed rules are simple and, with one exception, easy to understand (you may want to adopt a house rule clarifying whether or not the word must begin with one of the two spun letters, or merely contain it). And it'll probably take only one fight between the player who composed "Patty" and the "Patricia-Elizabeth" wordsmith, before you'll want to outlaw the use of hyphens. Those preteens can be soooo devious. --Tony Mason

Rating : - Kids Love this Game, Parents Can Play and have fun too!
This game has won a Teacher's Choice Award and when you see kids having fun playing and learning at the same time -- you know why. We most recently played the new upgraded Deluxe version of the game (I owned the cheaper "travel version" priced at $[...], but I highly suggest paying extra and buying the new Deluxe version priced at $[...] -- the new more expensive Deluxe game is made to last for years of play). We had the "travel version", but prefer this new "Deluxe Version". All kids play each round -- so there is no turn waiting. The spinner is spun and two letters are picked. Kids write down the two letters spun on their game sheet. Then the timer is turned and kids have 60 seconds to come up with a word in a particular category. For instance, one category is "Object or Thing", another is "Living Creature", another is "Food or Drink", etc. You get the picture. So the challenge for kids is not only to come up with a letter containing the two spun letters, but finding a word with the two letters in the chosen category. Keep in mind, the letters chosen can be used in any part of the word, not just the first and last letters. So, for instance, when the two letters spun are "G" and "A" and the category is "Food or Drink", kids all try to find a word which contains a "G" and an "A" but which is also a "Food or Drink". When time is up, all kids put down there pencil and reveal their word. Each players moves ahead by the number of letters in their word. Players only move ahead if the word is spelt correctly and if it is in the proper category. So, if a player formed the word "Orange", they would move ahead 6 spaces on the board. But if another player formed the word "Grape", they would only move ahead 5 spaces on the board. Whichever player reaches the finish line first wins the game. This is a terrific game. We love the new "Deluxe Version", as our "travel version" was too, too well traveled. This game is fun for both kids and adults to play together. Highly recommended!
