Synonyms Board Game Review & Giveaway

In our house its family game night every night. As long as homework and chores are done, I always try to find at least an hour to spend playing board games with the kids.  When we play so often its nice to have a variety of games to choose from. When those games are educational as well as fun, that is a bonus that is definitely worth looking into. One of the games I recently came across is called Synonyms, and its the perfect way to teach your children challenging word play while enjoying a fun and fast paced game.

Synonyms is a challenging word game that requires thought and interactive play.  Players race their pawns around the board and the first to collect all the letters of the word "SYNONYM" will be the winner. Each time a player rolls the dice, they will have to choose a card. Once you have selected your card, the timer is set and you will have to think of the designated number of synonyms to the word you choose.  If you succeed, you've earned a letter.  But there is a twist. A competitor can declare a challenge. If they can name more synonyms that you, they can steal your card.


Synonyms comes with more than 400 word cards, making for hours of game play. My kids loved it and I was amazed at the number of words they were able to come up with. While designed for children ages ten and older, my eight year old was able to play with no problems. Its a great way to keep them on their toes. It will especially come in handy in the summer to keep their minds fresh and active. If you have kids or tweens, this is a great game to add to your collection.
