Chalk & Chuckles Scavenger Hunt Game for Kids Ages 4-8, 8-12 Years, Fun Family Game, Indoor and Outdoor Activities

Kids love this, and use often as they cruise around the neighborhood on their golf cart. Keeps them occupied looking for new items!Great variety of things to look for.

This be as a great game for our camping trip!

The Chalk and Chuckles Elemental Chemistry game was a hit for my two younger teens! I was surprised as sometimes the word 'educational' can deter them, but this was engaging and interactive. I noticed this particular item is no longer listed, and I would assume the reason is that there might be an overhaul due to several element typos/errors. My children noted and found the errors themselves, which probably helped them to develop deeper memorization, so I can't (fully) complain!

The word cards are a nice thick quality. My grandson and I enjoyed playing this. It's good for all ages really. It's cold and rainy here so we haven't played outside yet. That will be fun and challenging.

my son loves exploring, asking questions and learning anything about everything. this is great for his sponge of a brain!

Was fun watching the kids beat the adults playing it

This is great for any kid learning the elements of the periodic table, which is hard to master. It is compact (approx 7" tall and only 3" wide) and perfect for trips. I love that it comes with the spinner in the cap. It is played like a "guess who" type of game where one person pulls a periodic table element and describes it via the card to the other player(s) and they have to guess what the element is. Could be very hard for younger kids but I would say this is more middle school age - could also be fun for the college kid chemistry geared students. I have a family member who loves the periodic table so I will be buy this for her! I've never seen a game incorporating the periodic table in it before and I think it's great!

Educational games are notoriously tough to design, as it is difficult to design something that can facilitate learning while still retaining fun game play. I appreciate the effort here, but it unfortunately falls a little flat.Upon opening the package, the first unfortunate thing I noticed is that there was already rust forming inside the top cap around the edge (perhaps that's opportunity for an extra chemistry lesson?).The top cap is a spinner with 6 segments, but only 2 colors to choose from, so it looks similar to a trefoil radiation symbol. Depending on which color the spinner lands on, you pick a stick of the corresponding color to read to the other players.The yellow cards contain 3 clues to be read, to get other players to guess what element is on the card. These work pretty well.The red cards actually end up being more of a challenge to the reader, as they are more of a "Taboo" style set of cards, giving 3 words that can't be used to describe the element. From a game play perspective, without teams and someone watching to make sure the clue giver doesn't use one of the "no no" words doesn't work super well, and there's no real incentive for the clue giver to want to do a great job describing an element, since the first person to guess the element is the one who wins the stick/point, and the reader gets nothing. Then, there's some extra bonus text on these sticks that's only readable with the special "decoder" red lens, for some unexplainable reason.A single player collecting 5 sticks wins the game.Ultimately, the biggest problem with this game is the drastic lack of questions. With 60 sticks in the game, there are only 30 of each color. And, since each stick has ONE element featured on it, I'm failing to see how the game can help kids learn about 118 elements, when only about half of them are featured as the answer to the questions being asked as part of the game play. With so few questions, this game can only be a couple times before all the questions have been used, and repeating the same questions, especially when each element only ever appears on one stick, quickly loses the "fun" aspect.This would have a lot more replay value as a game if there were a lot more sticks, with multiple sticks of each element, each of which contain different information/clues, so that it's not possible to just memorize most of the questions in short order.As this game sits right now, I could see it being useful as a type of flash cards covering the more common elements, but those aren't necessarily things that most kids would consider a "game."

Awesome educational toy. My 11 year old is now a chemistry champ. We need toys like this for our kids. I will recommend it to all.

Unique game, all u need is two or more players and this game.Easy and simple to play and can be played indoor and outdoor without any fuss.

Just as ordered. Interesting and a bit different.

I was gonna give it to a 7 years old for birthday gift but the box is dirty and rusty so I am going to return it. There is no way I can give it to someone as a gift.

Bought this for my granddaughter to take on a camping holiday……excellent for both indoor and outdoor.The whole family & friends had great fun with it.
