Excellent at developing skills in using context clues.

I had this game when it was on CD-ROM and recently purchased the board game for my students. I use it a lot in small groups to help students with context clues and reading skills. I primarily used it for 2nd and 3rd graders. It's a fun way to practice the skills. It is a little easy for 4th and 5th but still great practice. I would highly recommend it for 1st and 2nd.

A little easy for my 2nd grader. Better suited to 1st grade.

My students loved playing Kooky Carnival while learning to use context clues. I really liked the playing cards.

I am a math teacher but I played this game with my own children at home. They loved this game! Both my 5th grader and my 2nd grader played this game and had fun... the 2nd grader even won the first time we played! I highly recommend this game.
