We
are entirely impressed with this game! Apples to Apples Junior! is based
on the party game, Apples to Apples, but it is designed to be
enjoyed by children as young as 7. This game is oh so funny and
very educational.
The
box simply consists of cards -- red apple cards and green apple
cards -- in a tray. Players are dealt 5 red apple cards each.
These cards each feature a word (such as "ants",
"grocery store", or "my hair") along with a
definition. The player who has been chosen as "the
Judge" draws a green apple card. The green cards feature a
descriptive word (such as "spooky",
"important", "large", or "funny")
with synonyms of the word. The other players then look at their
concealed red cards and attempt to find the card in their hand
that BEST fits with the green card word. For example, if the green
card word is "large" and a player has a hand with the
words "ants", "the first day of school",
"pajamas", "grocery store", and "my
hair", then he/she might decide to play the card
"grocery store" as one that best fits the word
"large". Each player selects a card, lays it in front of
them, and then the judge mixes up the played cards and makes a
"judgment" on which card is the best fit. The beauty of
the game is that the decision is at the discretion of the judge!
Kids
really laugh through the game and they learn vocabulary
words and associations at the same time. This is a hilarious
thinking game. Note that the nature of the game means that it
can't be played by just two kids. It's a party game! In fact, Apples
to Apples Junior is just wonderful for promoting social interactions. It's a
almost as fun to watch as it is to play. (Parents will just
love watching kids giggle, negotiate, and associate!)
