Fun and Games Books

This is a good start for small children, allowing them to have something to show for their efforts. It also means that they will have to do some work off of the computer, giving parents a way to get their children away from the machine. Great arts and crafts!

This is a great enrichment activity for kids learning French. The games are fun and the tape gives plenty of time to repeat and understand the French phrases.

I am a Middle School math teacher(5th - Algebra)who likes to inject a little humor into class. I was able to use some of the skills sheets in this book tied to what I was teaching in 6th grade the day after I received the book. The students were engaged with the activities, particularly with trying to find the answer to the riddle. The worksheets will be good for review, for homework, or for quizzes as a means of on-going assessment.

Well-written with clear instructions and good step-by-step. I liked that there are a variety of shapes included. Many of them are quite challenging. Overall, think this book has the proverbial "something for everyone." If you're looking to dress up your table, this book is a good choice.

Twenty party themes include directions and templates for invitations, goodie bags, four games or activities for each party, a fantastic cake, and totally coordinated decorations. For those of us whose kids had parties at the local park or pool, this is a really overwhelming book. But if you're an event planner, or if you have the time and energy and inspiration to do a party like this for your kids, I'm sure it will be remembered forever and ever. Themes include a terrific pirate party, wrestlemania party, skateboarding, mermaid, boys in the woods, teddybear picnic, and a fantastic Halloween party. Like the Family Fun 100 Parties book (now out of print) this has loads of helpful full color photos and specific instructions for those of us who were born without the arts-and-crafts gene.

This is a great book for any stay-at-home moms out there! I used some of these activities on my 4-year-old that is starting early kindergarten this fall, and she loved them. Not only are they fun, but they are educational, as well. As a former teacher, I appreciate the value in that as well! The book's format is also very easy to follow!

great fun! Is really interesting and has a lot of facts that you probably don not know. It is great to play with a large group while sitting around the fireplace. Very Fun.

The book is pretty simple.
It is OK for my daughter.
I like it to have more explanation

good resource for middle school ages, includes different disciplines to relate plays and literature to, very short plays though, was hoping they would be longer and more involved

--------------------------------------------------

If you didn't already guess, this is a connect-the-dots book with the revealed pictures being of guys and girls in rather naughty adult situations (read: having sex). There are 30 puzzles total in the book. Each one has a pun title and caption (adding to the fun). Puzzle #25 contains the least amount of dots (230), while puzzle #8 contains the most (450).

From what I understand, this book (and the others in the Naughty Dots series) was originally released in England many years before it was published in America. I've never seen the original version, but I hope the layout was better than this one. 29 of the puzzles are spread across two pages (puzzle #26 is the only one-page puzzle), which means that you'll be drawings lots of lines across the inner spine of the book. I don't need to tell you how annoying this is. Connect-the-dot puzzles should always be on one page, not two. To add insult to injury, a few puzzles have dots right on the inner spine which are impossible to connect (so you'll just have to draw your lines as close to them as you can).

On the plus side, the puzzles are very detailed and contain a lot of dots. Often you won't know what the image is supposed to be until you've connected almost all of the dots. The puzzles do have partial photos to give you a hint as to what the revealed image will look like. In some puzzles, there are photos of nipples, with you connecting the dots to draw in the b-r-e-a-s-t-s around them. I liked this idea of using photos mixed into the puzzles, but I think that there should have been a section in the back of the book with the complete photographs of the puzzle images.

Before I wrap this up, I should probably take a second to tell you that puzzle #3 contains two #208 dots. The second one is supposed to be #209. So be on the lookout for that.

Overall, the puzzles were fun to do (aside from the two-page annoyance), and I enjoyed this book very much. I already bought another book in the Naughty Dots series - the follow-up "Really Really Naughty Dots".
