      Perfect 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.

      Learning 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.

      Game 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.
