Recommended by our Learning Center: Blurble
Blurble is a fun, fast-paced, card turning, tongue twisting card game that is great for nearly all ages and group sizes. Flip over a card and be the first to say a word that starts with the same letter as the image on the card. The winner of each card moves on to challenge another player, and the player with the most cards at the end is the winner. Blurble is perfect for teaching alphabet skills to children with no reading required, and great to review nouns, verbs, adjectives or simply to increase vocabulary.
How children feel about it:
"I like Blurble because it helps me learn new vocabulary.“
“Blurble is great because it helps me with nouns and grammar.”
“You have to react really quickly when you play Blurble. That’s a lot of fun!”
“I think Blurble is fun because I can practice a lot but it doesn’t even feel like learning.”
