MY REVIEW
Looking for something to keep in the car (or have around the house) for those times when the kids get bored? Maybe you should try Game On! USA with 120 pages of puzzles and games all about the United States. There are crossword puzzles about the Statue of Liberty, word searches about NASA, coded messages about George Washington and so much more. Youngsters will learn about historical figures and events while entertaining themselves with all the mazes, spot the difference challenges, and word games of all sorts.
Besides picking up some cool facts about the U.S. these puzzles also use skills like alphabetical order, following directions, and attention to detail - things that transfer well into other activities (including school work). There are also some games that need two players and provide the opportunity for cooperation and good sportsmanship. Whether you are setting out on a road trip or looking for some quiet play options to keep on hand for rainy days at home, check out the Game On! series.
