What are some of the questions asked of parents and kids? Just trying to figure out if this would be appropriate for my 5 1/2 year old...thanks!

I gave it as a gift so I don't know but I do know a 6 year old that got it for her birthday and loved it that is why I got it for my friend

It is more appropriate for grades 2 and up. Our 5 1/2 year old only knew a few of the answers.

I gave this to two of my grandchildren last year for christmas. At that time they were 5 and 6 1/2. they loved it. It was great fun for everyone. There were questions for the kids to ask adults like about TV shows adults would watch, for example CSI or Body of Proof, and then there were questions for parents to ask children about cartoons they watch, games they play etc. It is very age appropriate for your age group. they will love it.

I have a 5 year old and a 2.5 year old. Both love the camera! The 5 year old is able to do a little bit more with it (like make little "movies") and he takes better pictures, but the 2.5 year old loves having something that she can take pictures with! I think that in a few years my 5 year old will likely grow out of wanting to play with it, but since he is my oldest it is hard to say.

This would be great for those ages! We play with our kids (ages 12, 10, 8, 6, 3). Some of the words/phrases are: dragonfly, nurse, baby bottle, milking a cow, kitten, washing the car, gingerbread man, walking the dog. . .

As a family we've played it once so far - starting with age 6 to adult - the children liked that they could take their turn reading the questions themselves and having the answers. We didn't even use the board to keep track of the score. We just sat in a circle of about 13 and took turns reading the questions. Someone kept track of who got the most answers correct. Mostly, it was just a time to be together and share. The questions are interesting collected trivia.

I would think as young as 4 or 5 is age appropriate for this game. It's about recognition of colors and shapes, so if a child is able to distinguish those, it would be fun. Once they start playing, you will be able to tell if they are able to catch on, and if they aren't, it would be best to put up the game until they are able to catch on easier, to save them from being frustrated and not having fun. I've given these as gifts for kids as young as 4 and 5 and they have loved it. As adults playing with kids, naturally, you allow them to "win" a card to encourage play. It is fun with a group of kids with about the same skill level. My 8 year old can beat some adults! I would think as young as 4 or 5 is age appropriate for this game.

We're parents, and we thought he was entertaining. My 3 year old loves him and can steer him very easily. I'd think that a 5-6 year old might want something a little more advanced, but for 2-4, this is great (and it's sturdy!)

I don't think 5 years is too young. It depends on your child, but I would give it a try. You can always change the rules a bit. :)

I sincerely apologize Theresa, this was a game for my kids who live with their mother. I can try to ask them, however being 16 and not living with me, unfortunately I cannot promise a prompt response. I really do apologize. Sorry :(

I have a small three and five year old. Its perfect for the three year old, and the five year old is a little tall, but makes it work. :)

The more we've played it one thing has come up. The 11 year old didn't know some of the questions. So the later eedition might be more current. Other then that I am not sure it matters.

I never played the version for youngsters. I know the adult one is probably "over their heads". Pardon the pun.It can be difficult as there are questions geared to the older generation for sure.

My son is 5 right now and is very into switch and go dinos! He got his first one at age 4. I could see older kids (6-7) not being as interested.

I think it would be pretty frustrating for most 5 year olds. They could assist, of course, particularly if they have a long attention span and pretty good fine motor skills. A five year old might get a bigger thrill out of one of those giant floor puzzles, if you could find one with a picture he/she really liked.

The short answer is that she's probably on the old side for this. My son is now 11 and while he does still tinker with it, I would need to purchase the add on kits to keep his interest. While I think it was a pretty good product, it didn't really fulfill what I had in mind as far as teaching him about electricity and circuitry. It is a bit like one of those science kits, it does something interesting, but doesn't really teach them why. I honestly think this would be a better age range for 6-10 year old's. Hope that helped, good luck and take care.

Responds well. Can be touchy. If you are a serious flyer, this may not be for you. It's great for my kids and hubby who are just beginning to get into flying.

Sorry to respond so late. I have a petite 6 year old and it is perfect. Besides you do want them to grow into it and not out of it.

I think he would be too young. I have a 6 and an 8 year old. We played it with the 8 year old, who can read. She enjoyed it the first time and we went easy on her, since we knew her routes. (We had to explain it to her as we went along.) Then we let her play it without our help and she ended up crying because she was so disappointed to not play so well. It's a great game but my kids are both too young for it yet.
