My Thoughts
This game was fun! It’s recommended for ages 8 and up and 3-10 players. The first time we played was with my husband and his parents and we had a great time! The types of crazy sentences you create is hysterical. It is a very unique, thought-provoking, yet laid back type of game. I look forward to many more laughter filled evenings playing it.
This would be a fabulous game to help kids develop sentences correctly in a fun and relaxed environment.
I am happy to announce that the wonderful people at McNeil Designs has offered to donate a game to giveaway to one lucky Embracing Beauty reader!

About Ashley
I would share this game with my daughter. She hated anything to do with English when she was in high school but now that she is in college, she has found that she is very good at writing and loves it. Go figure!
I would share this game with my dad and sister. Now that we’re adults and no kids are at our holidays we love to play games!
I would love to share this game with my mother-in-law. Her favorite thing in the world is to sit down to family game night! English is her 2nd language, so this will still be fun and challenging for all of us!
I subscribe to your emails.
