Do you have fun Fridays at your home? This would be a great game
for those days. Crossword Cubes combines spelling, math, and fun.
Crossword Cubes comes in a small portable box with a cup inside
along with 13 dice. All you need to bring with you to the game
is your imagination. Each side of the cubes has a different letter
and a value for that letter. For example, a W has the value of
5, and an E has a value of 1. Each person rolls the dice and tries
to spell words using all of the dice. The player must connect the
words together similar to a crossword puzzle. If the player can
use all of the letters, he or she receives bonus points. The first
person to 200 points wins. The instructions are in large print,
so even grandpa can read them without his glasses.
Watch out with this game! You'll have children practicing spelling
just for the fun of it. I am not sure who enjoyed it more, my six-year-old
or my husband. We have to keep the dictionary around when the 10-year-old
plays.
Crossword Cubes is our new favorite game!
