4 out of 5 stars Great tool...Did they have to make it Pink in color for 8 year olds?   July 25, 2010
DVD fan from NC (North Carolina)
My children, now ages 8 and 6, really like this series. However, my 8 year boy was hesistant at first to open and look at the grade 3 one because it's colored pink. I certainly realize it's only a color and "real men wear pink" and all that, but don't give a young boy any reason to initially avoid the book.

Great tool for getting your first or second grader ready for the next grade. My son enjoys trying to get as many correct as possible. Questions are age appropriate and interesting to a 7 year old.

This and the rest of the series of similar products have been a great way for our clients to pass the time in our waiting room and interact in fun ways. Kids get to find out that their parents know more than what they thought. Kids get to show off what they learned.

This is the kind of game that educators would love kids to love. Problem is, they don't.

There are about 6 questions on each of about 200 cards, with the answers on the back. To their credit the cards are neatly held together and the answers are easily accessed. The problem is that either the child knows the answers and becomes bored, or doesn't, and loses interest (quickly). There is no 'game' here. There is no progressing towards an answer through work, no struggle, no problem solving, and no reward after getting the answer correct. A parent could provide these missing elements, or possibly the game could be modified by introducing betting, or creating markers and a racetrack, but that's not what is being offered.

I think its a much better experience to sit with your child in front of a computer and explore together. More educational, more fun, and time well spent with your kids.

It is fun to see my kids take turn to ask questions. I have Brain Quest Grade 3 for my son and his older sister plays game with him by asking the questions. For his turn he asks Brain Quest Grade 5 to his sister or if he can't read some words, simply show the question page to her and they are tracking their scores. I saw the new Brain Quest games on DS and I pre-order them already.
