| | | Description: | | There's no need to be boggled by words. Boggle Jr. helps children learn letters, spelling, and reading while having loads of fun! This easy version of the terrifically popular adult Boggle uses pictures and matching games to allow children to make the connection between objects and their names. With two skill levels, players can challenge themselves further as they become more adept at identifying letters and words. It will seem like no time at all before kids are begging to play their parents' version of Boggle! The game, for one or more players, includes a game tray with word cover, 30 picture/word cards with 60 three- and four-letter words, and eight letter cubes | | | Product Details: | | | Product Length:

 Good for developing literacy awarenessJul 14, 1999
This game was recommended by my daughter's preschool teachers as a supplementary activity to help develop reading skills. I can appreciate its value in helping kids learn their letters, developing sight-reading skills, and even letter-sound correspondence. However, my 4-year-old daughter didn't find having to turn over the blocks repeatedly to find the letters a lot of fun. And a word of warning: some words can NOT be formed, because occasionally two letters needed to form a word are on the same block! I wish Hasbro would do something about this...

 We all love Boggle Jr.!Apr 25, 2003
My 3, 4, and 7 year olds all get good use out of this game in different ways. (Also our 1 year old helps by stacking up the cubes.) I would recommend it to any family with preschoolers up to early second grade (older kids play with the words always covered). My kids have been able to play it by themselves with very little teaching. Other reviewers have complained about Boggle Jr's lack of buzzers, music, timers, and competitiveness, as well as the fact that their kids actually had to look on the cubes for the letter they needed-- these are all plusses if you ask me! This game has promoted concentration and focus in my kids, and the sound of busy, thinking kids emanating from the dining room is far sweeter than electronic noises any day.

 Not fun for family, limited as a learning toolDec 29, 2006
By 1900 USCF Player
This is pretty much kid vs kid only. Adults cannot play along. You can make it into a solo game for one child, but its really more like flash cards for spelling if you do that.
The product is basically a set of flash cards for spelling, with some letter cubes for the kids to spell out the words. The rules propose two games, which are basically see if the kids spells the word right, they get to keep the card if they do, first kid with 5 cards wins. Adults can pretend to play along if the child is younger and will "fall for it." It really works as a game only if there are two kids the same age playing.
I don't know, but I can't see my daughter pulling this out when a friend comes over. Therefore, to the extent this is a set of flash cards for spelling, its kind of expensive for what it is.
Don't get me wrong, you can definitely make it into a learning tool. Your call.

My child loves it!Jan 09, 2002
By Orion
There are many ways of playing with this game. My child would hold up the cards like flash cards and play "teacher". She would roll the cubes like dice and try to get certain letters. She would sort the cards alphabetically (find all the words that start with "B"). As she grew, her game play evolved. Now she is 3 and a half and she has no trouble spelling the words if she can see the letters. Turning over the dice and finding letters on more than one dice is just a part of the problem solving process. I expect if she keeps playing with it she will know how to spell all the words before she starts kindergarten.I recommend this toy for very bright children. My child is bored with a lot of toys, but keeps coming back to this one.

My daughter's favorite game!!Mar 13, 2007
By V. K. Browning
"Book Chippie"
We received Boggle Jr as a gift at Christmas. My daughter is almost four and absolutely loves this game. She is learning her words and is learning to spell. This is a wonderful game for learning picture recognition and verbalization and moving on to spelling three and four letter words. I told my sister and she requested it for her son. He's a happy camper with the game, too.
