$29.95 The “Ask and
Answer” question game
This product is an auditory
processing and listening skills learning game created by Sharon G.
Webber. It is recommended for grades K and up / ages 5 & up.
This games builds questioning skills, describing skills, categorizing
skills, problem-solving skills, etc. This game has been the winner
of 7 national awards.
The game comes with -
*6 pairs of Jeepers Peepers
glasses
*6 laminated cue cards set
*1 spinner & bingo chips
*101 photo cards (4x5)
*1 instruction booklet.
The photo cards have 5
categories on them:
animals, food, people, things and transportation.
Note: You can purchase an extra
set of 6 glasses for $11.95 and an extra set of 101 cards for $15.95.
How to play the game -
One student puts on a pair
of the colorful glasses. Place a photo card in the Peeper slot on
the glasses without showing the card to the student wearing the
glasses. Have the other students face that student. The student
wearing the glasses then asks each student a question. That question
can only be answered with a 'yes' or a 'no'. He/she has to figure
out what the photo card is. For example, if the photo card is and
airplane, the student would ask 'can I eat it'?, or 'is it blue'?
The cue cards help with the questions; they have the 5 categories
(listed above) on them to remind the child what questions to ask to
help him/her with finding out what is on their photo. If
he/she figures out what the photo card is, they can guess any time. If they
guess wrong, the game continues on. If they guess correctly, the
child spins the spinner and get that number of bingo chips. The
child takes off the glasses and it is the next child's turn. The
game continues until all have had a turn. Then the one with the most
bingo chips wins.
To play the advanced
version, you have each player wear a pair of glasses and all play
at the same time as well. Same basic game rules apply.
Game Variations -
- Player one wears the glasses and asks questions until he/she figures out the photo card. The other players take turns doing this. Have someone keep track of how many questions each player asks. The child with the fewest questions asked before figuring out the photo card wins.
- Give each player a photo card. They cannot show anyone else. Each player describes their photo on their card. The player who guesses correctly spins the spinner and earns bingo chips. You play this without the glasses. This would be good if you have more than 6 players.
- Place 3 photo cards facedown in front of each player. Each player chooses one card. They place it in their glasses without looking at it. Players take turns guessing. When the players guess one of their cards correctly, they place another card in their glasses until the 3 photo cards are gone. The player to guess all 3 of his/her photo cards is the winner.
What I thought -
I
thought the game was very fun and interactive for the children. I
liked that it wasn't just a guessing game. The children really had
to think before asking each question. They loved the silly colorful
glasses! The photo cards were really fun photos as well.
What I
didn't like were the small bingo chips. I think a bigger sized chip
or ribbon would have been a better option. There is a warning on the
package that there are small parts / not for children under 3 yrs. of
age. I just think a better alternative for the reward or score
keeping would've been better.
Overall,
I think this game was awesome! I would recommend this game for
children with learning disabilities as well. This is a great
interaction game for all ages and helps with speaking, thinking and
listening.
