Board games are a great way to have fun as a family, but sometimes they just don’t fit into our busy schedules (I’m looking at you, Monopoly). But with Word Chase by Beyond Learning, you can play a full game in just 15 minutes and throw in some education at the same time.
Here’s how to play: each player gets five cards with different words on them (“basic building block words” according to the company) and you then have to make your way around the game board going to spaces that have your words on them. It’s up to you to find the quickest way through all your words and back to the home space to win. Along the way, kids learn words that help them with early reading. Our testing mom loved that Word Chase was a quick and easy game that also involved some strategy. Her preschooler enjoyed the game as well and the game has become an after-dinner staple in her house.
Word Chase retails for $19.95. For more information or to order, visit www.beyond-learning.com.
