- Anna H.Verified ReviewerReviewingKangaroo Cravings 300 Sight Word Board GameI do not recommend this productRated 2 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoSticking Spot
My 3 kids were all enjoying the game but there is one spot (tomato spill) where they all got stuck for more than a few turns. They would get off, move forward 1 or 2 spaces but land in it over & over being sent back over & over. Most cards only move you 1 or 2 spaces with very few moving you moving you 3. The problem is 2 players finally got past it but one player didn’t till the other 2 made it to the end of the game leaving him behind & not able to participate with the other players. He just went back & forth at the Tomato spot. We reviewed the rules hoping to find a limit on turns one must be subjected to that spot but found nothing so we put our own limit on turns one might be stuck at that trap spot.
- StephanieVerified ReviewerReviewingPopped! 250 CVC Word Card Game with Balloon DogI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars9 months agoPerfect for quick play.
We have Kangaroo Cravings and now Popped. Kangaroo Cravings is great for when you want to play a board game and have a little more time. It also has more movement which helps the kiddos get energy out. Popped is a card game that is great for 10-15 minute plays. We leave the game on our dining room table and will play a quick game after dinner. To make the game more fun, I'll draw from the same card deck that my child is. This makes you cycle through the card deck quicker and ups the chances of being popped. Suspiciously, I'm usually the one who gets popped, likely because my kiddo will peek at the cards and stop before a clown card. Overall, a great and fun game. My child asks to play this nightly.
- Amanda D.Verified BuyerReviewingUltimate Reading Games BundleI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars11 months agoLearning is fun and sticky
As a teacher, I'm always looking for tools that are great for learning and also fun for kids. This game is truly a terrific reading game. I use it all the time and think other teachers will love it too. It makes learning all the high-frequency words fun - and sticky.
- Julia C.Verified BuyerReviewingKangaroo Cravings 300 Sight Word Board GameI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars11 months agoThank you, thank you, thank you
I can't thank the creators of Kangaroo Cravings enough for helping my child become a better reader. It's been so amazing to watch his growth and enjoyment.
- Sarah A.Verified BuyerReviewingReading Games BundleI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars11 months agoGame Changer!!!
The literacy experts behind Popped and Kangaroo Cravings really know what they're doing. My dyslexic son asks to play - and given that he hates to read - this is a HUGE deal.
