Fun & educational

My kids love getting quizzed with a few cards at night while winding down before bed. The most exciting part is how they beam with pride when they correctly answer a "Genius Point".

As a matter of preference, I personally like the omission of illustrations in this 1st Grade edition. More questions fit on each card, meaning the set lasts longer. I will definitely buy the other sets once we make it through this deck.

lots of fun for a 1st grader

My son really enjoyed the questions, and had us go through the entire deck in one long car ride. recommended.

Great brain teasers!

I look back with great fondness of using the Brainquest series in my youth. A combination of Uncle John Bathroom reader type info, and brain teasers to get you to think, the whole set definitely is worth the price. I will definitely buy these when I have children of my own, as I know this helped many a boring car trip or lazy afternoon in my youth.

Just Not The Same

We have Brain Quest for ages 3-4 and 5-6. My children love them and the pictures are great--very helpful for the pre-reader group. I recently bought the Brain Quest for ages 6-7 for air travel and my 6 year old daughter was very disappointed. She doesn't like that there aren't any illustrations throughout the entire 750 Questions and Answers. Each page looks the same with only topic symbols. I suppose a 7 year old might enjoy this format better than a 6 year old. I would stick with the 5-6 Brain Quest for as long as you possibly can before you move on to the Brain Quest for Ages 6-7.

Another Favorite!!

I buy every Brain Quest package available each year, according to my son's age. They're easy to travel with & he loves proving that he knows SO MUCH. Just enough easy ones to make him confident & enough harder ones to keep him challenged. I suggest the math version, too. We keep them in the car, in his room, in the living room, in his suitcase, etc. Great illustrations & visual stimulus for visual learners too.

Just in case you didn't know

Room 10 loves it!

My first grade class loves Brainquest! We play it in a "family fued" type format with table groups competing. They have a blast and the material in the questions is very compatible with our curriculum and state standards. It makes a great game for rewarding them when we've finished everything, a good 10 minute filler, and a good activity to suggest to a substitute. They always get excited when we are going to play, and are requesting it often.

Not quite as kid-friendly

The questions are age-appropriate, but the presentation is somewhat dry,especially if your kids are used to the Brain Quest for preschool and kindergarten. There are very very few pictures in the First grade version, just several questions written on each card. Not as entertaining for kids as the Brain Quests with pictures. My sugggestion: look at it first at a bookstore before you buy it!
