Category Description for Brain Quest
Brain Quest is one of my favorite games from childhood. (My brother and I played the first edition nearly 20 years ago!) This is a trivia-style game, but it's educational. Different questions are provided for grades 1 through 6, from four categories: Math, Science, English, and Social Studies (or a Grab Bag!). Here's an example of an English question for 3rd grade: "Which of these words comes first in the dictionary: staple, stampede, or start?" If you get the question right, you get to move the number of spaces rolled on the die. If you correctly answer a question that's above your grade level, you get one extra move per grade level above you. (For example, a 2nd grader answering a 5th grade question gets to move three extra spaces!). The regular version of the game includes 256 cards (1500+ questions).
The 20th Birthday Edition mixes things up a bit. The board has a different design, and adds spots to put answer tokens on. During a turn, a player will pick a card and read the question out loud. Example: "Which one is NOT associated with scales? A) fish B) weight C) music D) fur." Each player secretly chooses one of the multiple-choice answers and puts an answer token down. The answer's then read, and everyone has a chance at moving. The player whose turn it is gets to move the number spun on a spinner if he was right, and all the other players who had correct answers get to move ahead at least 1 space (or more, if answering a higher grade level question). For 2-4 players. -Chad
Category Description for Brain Quest Smart Cards
The concept behind Brain Quest is simple: each deck contains cards with "quiz" questions for your child. The number of questions vary by grade (or age) and print size and range from 300 to 1500 per deck. Carefully selected to be comprehensive and balanced between questions, kids should be able to answer the questions that will expand their knowledge The decks for grades 1-7 can be used for independent practice or as a sort of quiz game between siblings (nice for a car trip). Lower-level decks include a Parent's Guide. Cards are riveted together so you don't have to worry about losing them in the seat or finding them scattered all over your floor.
