Word Games from Educational Insights

By

Pass_the_peas

We also received from Educational Insights, a fun word game, Pass the Peas. This stacking, sliding word game is recommended for children ages 8+ although I found my 8 year old struggled playing. In this fun game everyone receives a pea pod and a bag of letters. After choosing 10 letters out of your bag you flip the timer over and have 30 seconds to build a word. When the timer is up you “pass your peas” to your neighbor. Once again you flip the timer and everyone has a chance to build a new word from the previous players word. You can add letters before, on top of or after the other players word. This is really tricky if you aren’t good at spelling… like some members of my family! 🙂 After you are finished switching to everyone playing it is time to count your points. You get one point for every pea you have showing.

I think for easier game play with young kids or bad spellers you could remove the 30 second time and increase the time limit. Maybe 1-2 minutes. For those of you that are very good with words and love word games this would be a fun game and a new challenge for you to try! You can purchase Pass the Peas from the Educational Insights page for $17.99.

    I do like word games. I would like to win this to add to my ‘nanny bag’. I would play it with my students, family and friends!

    I would love to give this to my son’s teacher who has been so wonderful this year. Word games are fun.

    Word games are not my favourite but my 6 year old is very into them as he’s learning to read. He would love this, thanks for the chance.

    This would be for my Kindergartner who is already a reader and is branching out into writing more and more words.

    I LOVE word games. For my birthday present some years I get one game of scrabble played with my hubby. I think this would be great for my sister!

  23. Melia McVay says

    I am not a huge fan of word games, since I am not a great speller, but my sis in law loves word games so I would probably give it to her. Thanks for the chance to win

    We do like word games here especially like boggle and I think that my granddaughters would love to play this game when they visit my house.

    I love word games!! My boys are 6 and 7 and already play scrabble with me-they’d love this for sure!

  46. Jessica Whitehouse says

    We usually play games with the kids when we get together with family for holidays or reunions. I’d play this with my 6 and 14 year olds.

    I love word games! I would keep it because I could use it in my phonics class and as a teacher when I earn my certification.
