Dice Off: Learn Spanish for Kids
"Many Parents want to introduce a second language to their children but they don't know where to start or what is age-appropriate. Dice Off uses a game setting, one that is easy to learn and really fun to play." - National Parenting Center. "Dice Off is a game of travel and language learning. Each player gets a [board] that can be leveled for different Spanish abilities. There are four levels of difficulty, and with each the game builds in depth. With each roll of the dice, children learn different Spanish verbs and adjectives and practice using them in the correct way... If an opponent makes a mistake, children get a bonus and the opponent loses something. Even when the turn isn't on the player, they still have to pay attention and participate if they want to benefit from their opponents' mistakes. The first player with a full board/passport, wins. The concept of Dice Off is well thought out. The components are durable and the rules remarkably easy to follow. The directions are very thorough...Dice Off really does teach Spanish. It does not stop at nouns and pointing and naming things, but also teaches verbs and their conjugations. Basing the game around Spanish-speaking countries and keeping the tone of the cards fun and light make this a game kids will actually want to play. It is a playful way to teach Spanish vocabulary and grammar, and that is a very rare find." - Parents' Choice Foundation "The Dice Off Game for students ages seven and up adds another layer of reinforcement that most students will really enjoy. Even adults who are learning Spanish might play this game. The colorful game components --game boards, verb and adverb cards, colored die, challenge cards -- are very sturdy and should stand up well to repeated usage." - Cathy Duffy, Homeschool Reviewer, 2014
