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!
