Baffle Gab™ Will Baffle and Entertain Kids and Kids At Heart
Can you use your gift of gab to write a sentence using 5 Gabby words? Baffle Gab, the new word play card game from Word Salt, Inc. builds vocabulary while offering a whole lot of fast-paced fun.
Port Townsend, WA (PRWEB) July 11, 2005 -- Can you use your gift of gab to write a sentence using 5 Gabby words? Baffle Gab™, the new word play card game from Word Salt, Inc. builds vocabulary while offering a whole lot of fast-paced fun.
You have to be quick and accurate with your use of the 5 words youre dealt, as you only have a minute to write either a single sentence using all 5 words properly (best case scenario as youll get double the points), or a coherent short story using all 5 words. All players are frantically scribbling at the same time. Then, when the times up, players read their stories out loud, laugh, and challenge other players on their Gabby word use. The first player to score 300 Bone Bucks, awarded for words used correctly in a story, wins.
Through play, kids learn creative writing skills and parts of speech. Baffle Gab™ comes with 100 cards each of adjective, verb and noun words. A stack of Bone Bucks in various denominations helps kids with math skills while making change. A dos and donts tip sheet, sand timer and score pad with pencils complete the game. It sells for $29.95 and is available at specialty stores nationwide and on the web at www.bafflegabgame.com
When a parent or teacher plays with kids of varying ages, they will delight in the creativity kids express in their sentences. Engaging in word play and constructive give and take, while at the same time having fun, is a very positive experience. Heres one a 10-year-old girl from Wisconsin made up: The little boy was so very WACKY that to the babysitter he was IMPOSSIBLE. He would yell out songs about MYTHICAL creatures and had an ICKY singing voice. If only he were SIMPLE to take care of!" Score: 7 Bone Buck points.
The beauties of Baffle Gab™ are many:
| | - The creators pet, an unusual breed of dog called Vizsla, is named after the game. Gabby visits schools to help break the ice with kids while her human teaches the kids Baffle Gab.
- It can be played by an almost unlimited number of people rather than the traditional 2-4 players most games specify.
- It is made in the USA.
- A Spanish version will be introduced in the fall.
- It has already won prestigious awards: The National Parenting Center and iParenting Media Award gave Baffle Gab rave reviews.
- Each round only takes a minute and the fast-pace keeps kids focused.
