Bought this for a five year ancient and he can’t get past the snake to delight in the game. Too hard!! Maybe I should have saved my cash. Dissipate of cash.

I bought this game based on the pictures on the back cover and the description. It is supposed to have an “adjustable difficulty for ages 5-11.” I set this for my 5 year ancient and the sports meeting were way too hard. I am 34 and I had a small distress with one game. You were supposed to complete the word and were given p—–l and were given about twelve letters to guess. I only got it owing to trial and error and I am sure a outcome who is 5 would not have guessed it and probably is not familiar with the word. Another game required children to match large numbers with their written word (168 with one hundred sixty-eight). Other times the instructions were very vague. There is also to much reading required for small children. I am an elementary teacher and these activities are not appropriate for 5-year olds and probably not any outcome in Kindergarten owing to second grade. There was only one activity I found out of about 25 that I thought was appropriate for my son.
There are extras that are only available after completing five levels but only available once a day. I thought the game might be useful if I could unlock all the sports meeting for him but only was allowed to unlock one which had no instructions for play.
I do not recommend this game for anyone under age 8 and possibly not even that age.

Just bought this for my 7 year ancient. NO matter whether you set the age on 3 or 30 you still have to do multiplication tables I don’t know many 5-7 year olds who know their multiplication tables. Now contracted if he keeps guessing he can get it but where is the learning in that. And then the game where you are suppose to “draw” the picture isn’t in fact drawing at all it is plotting points, dull. My son kept wanting to play my intellect Age game so I got this thinking it would be more his level but now I’m thinking should have just let him played brain age. I was debating between this and huge brain academy now wishing I’d went the other way.

I had some high hopes for this game, graduating my kids from their leapsters to ds and losing the educational regard of the sports meeting I was looking for something by the side of these shape. I read the back of the game, adjustable difficulty level for ages 5-11. I had also bought the Junior classic sports meeting at the same time which is age rated for 4-9. I have a 4-year ancient and a gifted 7-year ancient. My seven year ancient might get something from the game, but when I plugged in my 4 year ancient’s age I expected the play level to be equivalent to pre-k and K math. Presume my bolt from the blue when the first task is complete the multiplication table. 6×6; 10×3, 5×4, etc… In hopes that it wasn’t a complete dissipate of cash, I completed the table only to get stuck on another level of fill in the missing letters. Not too terrible when there is only one letter missing, but near impossible when there are only two letters on a long word. I gave up, which makes me slightly embarrassed to admit. I pulled out the hand book to see if I had missed something about the adjustable levels but did not see anything indicating what I could have done different. So yes, it turns out that it was a complete dissipate of my cash. I will see if my 7 year ancient has any better luck but I doubt it.
We just bought this game yesterday. My son is 5. You register a player according to their gender and age first then you start. I thought the fact that I place that my son is 5 will adjust the difficulty level but it didnt seem to matter because the questions that you have to go owing to first are certainly not for 5 year olds and that is what the description of the game says on the cover. The level cannot be adjusted. My son’s questions were to spell such words as “birthday”, “balloon”, “hand’, “soup” and some word even I as an adult dont know the definition of. Also the words that he would spell correctly are not pronounced, so if the outcome is just guessing the spelling like in our case, he wont even know what word he just spelled. That was discouraging for my outcome, which I despised the most of this experience. I reflect this time it was a dissipate of cash and it didnt meet my expectations.
I have to help him with nearly every question to unlock the sports meeting and it happens kind of at a snail’s pace. Now he only has the snake game and the question to unlock the rest of the sports meeting are getting only harder. I would not recommend buying it for young children like 5-7 years ancient. May be for grown-up kids even then it is not interactive enough.
