Customer Reviews

Super Why is Super Fun!!!

My 30mth old loves this game. A little long to play at his age, but it is designed for a little older age range. The four decks of cards are designed to increase literacy skills. If you draw an Alpha Pig card, you match the lower case letter on the card to the upper case letter on the board, Princess Presto cards you find the letter that the picture starts with. The last two sets of cards are a bit further along in development then he is(game is for 3+ by design), but that only means the game has room to grow with him. Wonder Red cards you need to rhyme with the words on the card, and Super Why cards, you replace the silly word with what makes sense. My husband and I assist him a lot if he lands on the last two set of cards. My son does not seem to mind and I love how educational and fun this game is. I love the great way to reinforce learned skills and introduce new ones. The best is he does not mind to wait his turn. This game not only would benefit the preschool crowd, but even K-1 remediation skills for those with delays or lack of prior exposure. I am buying a copy for my classroom for the literacy center.

Know your audience?
My kid, at 30 months old, can watch the Super Why TV show -- and be thoroughly entertained -- he even appears to be understanding a great deal of what is going on, and sometimes supplies the correct answers at the appropriate times during the show. But in the format of a board game, he can maybe answer the questions of one or two of the characters. Obviously this is because the game is dependent on correct answers to progress, unlike the show.

Anyway... it looks like it is going to be a great first board game for my son a year from now -- I'd just also like to drop the warning (like another reviewer) that the target audience for the game might be a little older than what's on the show.

Great Toy for Super Why lovers!
Very cute. Lots of fun for my 5 year old. She adores the Super Why tv show, so this is a great game for her.
