Speed, not artistry, is the key to Pictionary Junior, a party game that stole the show from Charades in the '80s. The kids' version, which has been updated with hundreds of new words to draw, has hints and two levels of play. There are 144 two-sided cards. The red side is more challenging, and the blue side is easier--for younger players. Both include a theme to be read aloud and start everyone thinking on track. Teams go head-to-head to guess the word their "picturist" draws within 60 seconds. How fast can you draw an apple pie, an eyebrow, or a coin? It takes a quick hand and good guesswork to move around the game board from start to finish before the other team. A timer and easy-to-read instructions are included. --Lynne Sampson

Lots of fun December 20, 2008

Our family has always enjoyed Pictionary, and this version is great to include the kids! My 6-year-old really enjoyed herself because the topics are all things she has heard of, and can draw independently. Nice way to introduce board games.

This pictionary version is a game any age can play. It works best with teams. You should also have a "reader" on each team or a designated "reader". What is great for younger kids, is that they feel successful when you are able to guess what they have drawn. (even when the picture looks nothing like it is suppose to look like) The game focuses on a subject theme. (ex: items found in a sandbox) That way you can somewhat guess at what the child is drawing.
On a side note. This is a great birthday party game. You can split up into teams and you can be the designated reader.
Have fun!

This game will be easy for adults but is really good for kids. My kids loved to play regular pictionary but it is hard for them to understand what some the items/things are to draw. Sometimes I don't know... Pictionary Jr solves that problem easily. It is a game for the whole family and comes with 2 skill levels for different ages of kids. Kids have to think outside the box and it is really great to see how their minds truly work diffently from an adults.

We have 3 kids, ages 5, 8 and 10, and we can play this game together. There are 2 levels of clue difficulty, so that helps us customize it based on what our kids can do. My 5yo plays on a team with an adult to help him along, but we are amazed at how well he can do. He just needs someone from the other team to read and whisper the clue to him and give him an idea of how to draw it. We haven't been able to find this game in stores and so we were very happy to find it here on Amazon. Highly recommended!
