20 Questions for Kids Strictly speaking, 20 Questions isn’t a game that you need special rules or a board for. But innovative as ever, University Games makes a good thing better with a fun design and a little extra help for younger players. This product features a game board (2 to 10 players race around a question mark-shaped circuit) and 150 question cards (for 3,000 total clues). Each card has a person, place, thing, or year (either recent or otherwise noteworthy, like 1989 or 1776) with 20 clues about the subject. Players take turns trying to figure out the clues (“My favorite cat wears a hat,” “I am a doctor who has no patients”), and both the reader and the guesser advance based on how quickly the subject gets figured out. –Paul Hughes
Customer Review: great for school setting
I have owned this game for about 12 years and I use it often in my job as a speech pathologist in the public schools. The kids enjoy it and find it rewarding, while it also helps them develop their reasoning and language comprehension skills. Some of the people cards may be outdated now, but most are still usable. I also like the fact that some cards are easier and some are harder, so I can preselect which cards are appropriate to the kids I’m working with (3rd grade through high school).
Customer Review: Perfect game for kids
I was very surprised how the kids in the 5th grade just enjoy this game. Everyone gets involved, they think, they laugh and it is an all around great fun. Something to keep them busy when they can’t go outside. They actually take turns and really listen to the person asking the questions. I even find myself getting into the game and enjoy watching the kids take turns, no fighting and and enjoying playing a game. Some questions they really have to think about. It is a great family game. Questions range from T.V. to history, to objects, and also things around the house. I am going to get this game for my family. Your kids will have a great time, and so will you.
