Brain Quest Grade 1 Review
This was our first time trying Brain Quest and we love it! Our son loves that he can answer the questions right most of the time. It is so much better than just mindlessly watching cartoons while riding in the car for long distances. It also involves the whole family to play. There are so many questions in the package, we still have not made it through all of them. There is also a good variety of different types of questions. I was surprised when my son correctly answered questions I had no idea he would know! The Brain Quest people have obviously done their homework in developing this product, and I plan on buying more for gifts!

Vetted by a panel of America’s highest award-winning teachers, and embraced by kids and parents because it flat-out works, Brain Quest opens a world of information and education with its fast-paced question-and-answer format, bright full-color illustrations, and lively attitude.
Brain Quest Grade 1 Specifications
When the Brain Quest series moves from preschool age to the first-grade set, it transforms from a playful question game into a sort of elementary school version of Trivial Pursuit. (In the spirit of this new grown-up air, there is no longer a cheerful animal guide appearing throughout the decks.) Now, each card features one question from each of five category sections: Reading, Math, Vocabulary, Social Studies & Science, and Grab Bag. The rules are gentle: Playing in teams, with partners, or solo, you can stick to your favorite subject category or play the whole card. Keeping score (they offer three different versions) is optional.
Though the framework of the game feels very grown-up, the questions are not out of a first grader's league. A math question asks, "What coin is the same as 25 cents?" A sample science question reads, "Name the force that keeps you from floating in the air." There is much good humor in these questions, and the name references are nicely up to date, though not completely contemporary (Beanie Baby references can be found here, but Pokémon's not mentioned). (Ages 6 to 7). --Jean Lenihan

Customer Reviews
My 1st grader loves it! - Wii Mom - Pasadena, CA
I hesitated to get this after reading some of the reviews, but my son loves it. The lack of pictures does not bother us. I've been reading the questions to him and he answers. After we go through it all, I will encourage him to read through it himself since the questions will be more familiar to him. He is so excited when he gets a "genius point"!
Great!! - Marci Dowson -
