Did you know that games can be fun as well as educational? Of course you did because chances are you grew up playing many board games and recess games that taught you many things. Some of the most beloved games for adults have now made their way into the toy department and are quite educational. Bananagrams is a great game that is similar to Scrabble but without the fuss and the complication. It may even teach you some new tricks.

When you see the package for Bananagrams you quickly realize where the name comes from. The tiles come in a banana shaped and colored bag. The game is really simple to learn. It is just like Scrabble in that you have to use the tiles you have to create words in a crossword puzzle shape. It really does help kids learn to think quickly and creatively.

It is the ability to see random letters and form words that is so important. It teaches the mind to quickly see correlating letters. The more your child plays this game, the faster he or she will learn to put words together. It is absolutely fantastic for teaching them new words as well. The quicker they complete the game, the more points they win. It really is simple to master and the rules are incredibly easy to follow.

Another great thing about this game is that even adults can play. One user wrote a review and made the suggestion that if adults are playing with kids, they should change the rules about getting new tiles a bit. Let the child draw one time but when it comes your turn and you need to draw from the tile pile, draw two instead. This game can provide countless hours of fun or it can be used for a small distraction such as at the doctor’s office. It is very portable and can be played quickly. That is definitely a plus when you consider that games such as Monopoly can take hours to finish.

Let’s face it…there are a lot of board games on the market these days. Some are exclusively for small children and some are for older kids. Bananagrams is a game that is for any age group. You and your adult friends can have as much fun playing this game as your children do with their friends. When you play this game with your children you can help them increase their vocabulary and even improve their spelling skills. Add in the fact that it is really inexpensive and you have a winning combination.
