Can a first grad girl play this by herself. If yes, does one game work for second grade?

The game is for at least two players, but it can be played by different aged children. For example, my 2nd grader can play against my 6th grader because there are different questions for the different ages.

The game works for 1st through 6th grade because the questions are tiered. She would need another player to play against..or she could just quiz herself on the questions, not really play.

Yes, the best thing about this game is that each card has questions for several grade levels. That means that a first grader can play against a fourth grader (for example), and each will get questions that are geared toward their grade levels.

My daughter had never played the first one and she went right into this one. So I don't believe you have to play the first one in order to play the second one.

I think it would certainly be appropriate. The game moves up in complexity as the child grasps the more basic concepts. I have a 6.5 year old daughter who enjoys this game very much and finds it challenging enough not to be boring.

Hi!It depends on the kids. But i fear that it might involve too many parameters for the younger kid.You can try with smallworld (competitive) or pandemic (cooperative). Simpler but exellent games both.I hope it helps.Good luck!

Highschool and older should be fine. Only part in the game I would change --don't give the sequence each character reads their part --I had to figure that part out to make the game flow.

My niece who I bought this for is in second grade. I believe you can have as many players as you like. If you were going to do it for a classroom it might be better to have more than one set of dice.

Yes! This is a terrific games. We taught our 9 yr old granddaughter to play and she loves it. Numbers instead of dots is a big help in playing the game.

Yes, you could easily play this game alone, once you know the concepts. The jewel can be placed anywhere on the board and obstacles placed anywhere. Yes, you could learn early programming concepts. We set this up for our 6 yr old grandson. He laid the program using the cards before he even moved! All in his head. Brilliant.

Yes, you can. You can even play by yourself if you so choose. Their are some rules that change slightly depending on the number of players, i.e. monsters in the 'Outskirts' and how many gates have to be closed, but all those rules are in the book.

This was sent to my grandson, who lives far away. This was not an electronic game, so I don't know how it could be played by one person. I believe that the electronic ones can be played alone or with two people.

My kids have been playing Professor Noggins games since they were 6 years old. The parents have to kind of assist them in it. However, by the age of 9, they can play on their own.

I've been beat to this a hundred times already, it seems.Yes, you can play by yourself. It may or may not be as fun as with friends, it just depends on your imagination. I generally play with at least 3 people, but I have played a round mostly solo and it was actually pretty cool.

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 purchased this game for my classroom - I teach 3rd grade (ages 7-9). Sorry (no pun intended), I couldn't be of more help.

No! I used to play it with my 4 and 6 year old. It's a great game and good way to incorporate fun with relevant learning.

No, they guide you through the first section how to play. Very easy to play beat the game in a month for a girl who's in her early 20s.

They would be able to handle it themselves...once they understand the rules. Though this is the Junior version of the game, there are still a few rules. My 7 year old kind of makes things up he doesn't remember when I'm not playing, but he still has a good time with his friends that are around his same age. If you're willing to play it a few times to help them learn the rules, then this game would be enjoyable to them by themselves. There's not much reading once you know the rules. Just rolling the dice and moving your pieces depending on what you roll.
