Possible purchase Does each person need his own banana?Not sure how this is played. I would be playing with my 8 year old granddaughter. Thanks! Mary

No, each person does not need his or her own banana. Part of the fun is seeing who ends up with the most "q"s or "j"s and how they manage to use them! We challenge ourselves to not just use the letters but to make the longest words we can. We also try to make solid blocks of letters-- my younger daughter is an expert at that!

Each player builds their own crossword. Whoever uses up their tiles first wins.

I bought this last week. My children are in grades 2 and 4. We have played several times as a family and had a last doing so. The reason I picked this version was not because it was "easier," but because from what I've read there are some words/phrases that are perhaps not appropriate for children. And since this was purchased for us to play with children, we bought the juniour version.

Hi there, sorry for the late reply, but this should be appropriate for a 3 year old. I have bought mine for a 2 year old and she already knows how to play with all the little things. I hope I have helped you in anyway possible.Sincerely,

My grand daughter enjoys. She is now 6. Keep in mind, you will have to "play" with the child for her / him to enjoy. I personally think the packaging should say "ages 8-" or the like.

The game is stated to be for 10 and up. It can certainly get inappropriate if the crowd itself is inappropriate. All the answers come from everyone's own opinions and usually the topic is fairly wide, for example "What is the worst gift to receive?" Of course any game that has open ended answers can be a bit tricky, but I have played with me 11 year old brother-in-law and he has had no issues with it, unless someone wrote something down he didn't understand.

I have two granddaughters who use the game. One 7 the other 4 and neither of them has "complained" about inappropriate language. I myself have used it once in the context of helping the four year old learn how to use it and I've never heard anything that concerned me with regard to inappropriate language, and I know both parents have never commented otherwise.

yes, think an 8 year old would enjoy - it has several choices of 'games' to put together - think it's also, advertised as 8 and upour granddaughter was 9 and loved it - actually think it was one of most enjoyed presents. Go for it!

i called the co. and they said that multi units will work. we purchased 4 pkgs. so multiple 8 year olds can play. we have yet to try them out as a group.

Depends on the kid. My newly turned 7 year son has played a good 5 times or so with me now and basically gets it, but still needs some help...he still loves it though. You can play it with them, but not expect them to play it with a group of kids - requires supervision and aid. Probably more 9-10.

It would depend on the child. The setup is rather challenging for a young child. I play with my 9 year old grandson, but haven't tried with his 6 year old sister.

I play this game with my 4 year old grandson and he loves it. I think 2nd grade and 4th grade will be just fine. Don't forget, they kind of make up their own rules as they go along anyway. I think it will be a great gift for that age. They will love it.

I've found that it depends on the child. My 8 year old caught on fairly quickly and plays with us regularly. His friend, however, wasn't quite ready for the complexities of the game. So I'd suggest giving it a try and seeing if the child/ren can understand the game and find it enjoyable. (All of this is mainly speaking about the basic game rather than the expansion listed here.)

We actually purchased 2 for Christmas gifts for our grandsons. One was almost eight years old. The other was three and a half. Both do fine with it. We make sure we purchase age appropriate games.

All kids are different, but if you moderate a few games with them so they get a handle on the rules and are used to playing the game together, I would think they should be able to play by themselves. There is no reading involved, other than learning the instructions. If they are used to playing the game and don't need to look up rules, there will be nothing they need to read in order to play.

My granddaughters, 3-8 play with ours all the time. They really enjoy it so I don't think she is too big for this one.

Yes but it might be frustrating for the 3 year old at first. My 6 and 9 year old granddaughters have really enjoyed this game. I personally think it is more suitable for older children, at least 6 years and up.

Have only played it with my very young granddaughters. We just went around the board. Sorry.
