Rainy Day Games' Card Game Review of the Apples to Apples Junior
The Apples to Apples card game has gotten a huge following amoung familes and large groups of social gamers. And even though Out of the Box Games says it's for players 12 and above, we've always found the children as young as 10 can play and enjoy the game.
But the Apples to Apples card game has some difficult vocabulary and some provocative words which parents may not like their younger to be exposed to just yet. Here comes Apples to Apples Junior to the rescue. Based on a more basic word set, younger players can fully participate. The publisher rates this game for players 7 and older, but really, any child with a basic ability to read will be able to appreciate this great game.
And more than just appreciate! While Apples to Apples is one of our favourite party games for adults, it has some real educational benefits for younger children. Besides obviously expanding vocabulary and giving reading practice to young children, the game encourages and rewards creative thinking and making imaginative associations between words and concepts.
But the best reasons to get the Apples to Apples Junior card game is simply that its a ton of fun for kids, and adults too! All the fun of the original is still here for parents. And remember, points are awarded for imagination and creative associations, so children and adults are on an even playing field. This is hours and hours of quality child-adult interaction that is fun, educational, and will build the bonds of love stonger in your family.
