Sequence for Kids - Game Review

by Jeff Bogle

10 Jul 2007 09:07 AM

I bring absolutely no knowledge of Sequence to the (game) table. I have heard of, but had never played, the standard edition of the well-known board game and until it was given to my daughter as a 3rd birthday present I had no idea there existed a Junior or "Kids" version.

My three-year old has been home everyday for a month now. We yanked her out of her old school/daycare in mid-May, allowing her to be home with her new little sister, her mommy and, depending on the day, one of her grandmothers or myself.

The Egg and Spoon Race Game from International Playthings is such fun. The game retails for around seven or eight dollars. It's recommended for ages three and up. It comes with four different colored plastic spoons and eggs, so four people or relay teams can play at once.

Zooreka from Cranium games won the Toy Industry Association's 2007 Game of the Year. I can see why it won. It's unique and imaginative, a good simple math equivalency lesson and a good first lesson or at least an awareness of probability. It's also a good game for different ages to play together.

Lilly's 3 For All is a boxed card game for ages 4 to 8 from Gamewright, which won a Best Toy Award from Oppeheim Toy Portfolio. I can see why the game won an award. It's actually three games in one, which is always a nice bonus.

We've been doing a lot of cleaning out of old toys and games. Some toys I can give away without hesitation. Others make me sad for the days when the toy was a favorite. And some, I'm keeping. Rivers, Roads, and Rails by Ravensburger is one I can't bring myself to toss.

Frog Juice. Sounds gross, which I think is part of the appeal to my sons. It's not really yucky though, it's actually a very clever and unique card game. The Frog Juice game from GameWright has won a recommendation from the National Association for Gifted Children.
