Hasbro 4919XXXX Monopoly Junior, Price/each

As a former homeschool Mom, now a 2nd generation homeschooling family, we bought this game for our grandson, age 4. If your family loves games, this one is a must for teaching early math and game playing skills.

I shy away from playing board games with small children because it's hard enough for me to figure out the directions, but then I have to teach a game I'm not familiar with to a youngster, well...it's too much for this old girl sometimes! But, not so with this game. The directions were easy to follow, the game itself is easy to play, fun, fast and entertaining, even for adults. Don't be afraid to give this one a try!

Bought this game for my granddaughters ages 8 & 5. They have had a blast playing this game. They are learning skills and not even realizing it. The game holds their attention very well.

This is a very cool game for kids learning basic math. It's fun, and it's very simple. My husband complains about some of the rules, like that on some of the chance cards you can just "take" people properties. But he is a die hard real Monopoly player. I believe it is very suitable for children.

We bought this game for our 5 year old daughter. She seemed interested at first but got bored after about 15 minutes. We have not played the game since. My wife and myself liked the game (it brought us back to our childhood). In a few years I think my daughter will like it but for now it takes a little too long and doesn't hold her attention.

Let's face it, Monopoly can get very long and is certainly not fast paced enough for a younger child nor is it simple enough for one. Monopoly Jr. is the perfect way to take a great adult game and make it pleasing for the younger crowd. It is based on a theme park with ticket booths, rides, and vendor stands.There are still properties, actually, ticket booths (although you don't have a choice to buy them, if you land on it you must purchase it). There is money and chance cards. Everything is much more simple and yet moves at a fast enough pace to keep even a 5 year old engaged. If you land on a ticket booth that is not yours, you must pay. And like regular Monopoly, if you own all the colors in that set, rent is doubled. So children need to understand how much it costs for one and for two. They also need to pay attention to their properties to make sure other players aren't passing by without forking over the dough.We have found nothing yet that would improve on this version of Monopoly and I have purchased a number of them as birthday presents.I would recommend this for ages 5-10. As a parent, I don't mind playing this one over and over. The game changes each time and the thrill of getting the dark blue properties just before GO is still there.
