Best Children's Word Games
Sep 30th 2011, 10:02

Word games are a great way to help young children learn how to read and spell, or to help older children really fall in love with words. Here are my picks for the best children's word games.

1. Scrabble Junior

This game comes with two versions, one for children as young as 4 or 5, the other for children up to 10. For the very young children, they match tiles to letters printed on the board. The game for older children is a basic version of Scrabble with simple scoring. For two to four players.

2. Boggle Junior

In the junior version of Boggle, children match the letters on the cubes to what they see pictured on a set of cards. Due to the nature of the game, you may find that your children like to make up their own rules. For one or more players, ages 3 to 6.

3. Apples to Apples Junior

The gameplay is similar to the adult version of Apples to Apples, which is a tremendously fun party game. Players are dealt five red (noun) cards and try to pick one that best matches the judge's green (adjective) card. For ages 7 to 12.

4. Taboo Junior

It's just like Outburst, except with 200 words chosen specifically for children. Players try to get their teammates to say the chosen word -- but without saying any of the five "taboo" words listed on the card. For ages 8 to 12.

5. Hangman

This is the boardgame version of the classic pen-and-paper game Hangman. For two players, recommended for ages 8 and up although some younger players will definitely be able to play.
