Great Fun for budding story tellers
I was considering this game for my 5 y/o son, a beginning reader. While this doesnt help with "reading" per se, I thought it might be a fun way to encourage creativity and "authorship" by him without being hindered by words he cant spell/write yet. So I wanted to see the images contained in the set to determine if they are comprehensible by a child.
So far of the images I have seen, the only ones that may be difficult (as they are difficult for me) are the capital L in a box and the omni-direction arrow. Since this is a UK game, I can only wonder if those have some kind of meaning there that they dont have in the US. Also, since there are two arrows, one a bow and arrow type, another a directionality, I am not sure that kids can understand that one is a noun while the other, I am guessing, is a verb (go??).
Despite this, I believe that the average 5 year old vocabulary can make up stories using these images with the occasional challenge.
And, even if my son doesnt enjoy it, I sure as heck am! :)
