Watch How Squishyland 3-5 Expansion Card Packs. Works
These expansion packs are so useful. They help to keep the game alive beyond the grade 2 level. My granddaughters are at different levels and it is fun to play the same game with each playing at their skill level.
Reading + Fun = total win!!!
These cards are an excellent extension and appropriate for multiple grades and abilities.
Such a fun game that also encourages learning! My grandboys from 3-11 love it!! I bought the expander packs so they can all play!
I love these. It's great that it lengthens the time we can continue using the board game!
I bought this for my two grandsons who I babysit almost every afternoon after school. One is in grade 2, and one is in grade 5. So they have no one to play with except me. We’ve only played twice. I only found possibly two issues that were not a big deal. #1 It might be more fun with more kids to play with. So we have to be adaptable for only two young players. I play with them, it’s still fun for them. #2 At first, we didn’t understand how to end the game. It doesn’t explain it in the rules so we just decided that if one player got a card that said make five moves, for example, and there wasn’t enough spaces left, we decided that person had won. The last time we played, we used the grade 5 pack. And my younger grandson enjoyed those cards too. When it’s my turn to pick a card, I ask my youngest grandson (who has the most trouble reading) to read my word or answer the question, and he doesn’t mind.
You ask, we answer!
