Information about Blunders Game

The potential here is huge! Culturally there is a real need to learn common courtesies...especially in such a techno-busy society. This game addresses those needs in a fun format. I (grandma) played with my 7yr. old granddaughter and heer 6 yr. old friend..one male and one female. They were equally interested but I think it is imperative to identify the players with the cast of board characters. An enclosed booklet gives you an overview of each character in the game. For younger children I found I needed to paraphrase and act out some of the characters' attitudes etc. They became happy and excited after that. The orange box questions also had to be paraphrased for them to be able to respond well. I also found I lost their interest when I wanted the answers to be too close to the given answers on the back of the cards. Next time I play with them I will be more accepting of more generalized answers as long as they are in the right framework of congeniality and concern for others. There is huge potential here. I found myself wishing that teachers could encorporate this game into their students' freetime play. Bringing up the topics of bullying, sharing etc. and having a forum for discussion in the classroom could be very productive! I recommend this toy to anyone who wishes to produce in their children a capacity for empathy and even just common civility.

Great game for teaching manners - my kids have really enjoyed it; more importantly, I feel they are learning important rules regarding behavior as they play!

Amazing concept! The scenarios used to teach children are humorous and easy to relate to. I feel confident this game will help my niece and nephew learn the essentials of etiquette, manners and interpersonal skills.

Product review of Blunders Game

This game fills a big need for the population of high functioning children who have a diagnosis of autism, Asperger's Disorder or some other social pragmatic disability. It is fairly well-designed, easy to use and, so far, in my clinical practice, it has been a big hit with my clients.

I work with students with autism and this game is wonderful for teaching social skills. The kids love to play it. I am starting to see my students apply what they have learn from the game to everyday school situations. Thank you!!!!

The title is appropriately fun sounding

I bought this game for my home while two of my grandchildren, ages 6 and 8, were visiting. The children could identify with some of the characters and chose them as their pieces. I can't tell you how grateful I am that we had this marvelous game since all summer long I heard how mannerly my grandchildren were. The game is fun, silly, educational and necessary. When their mother called and said they needed brushing up on their manners, I immediately ordered another Blunders and sent it to their home. The children were very excited to have it. They love the game.

Game was easy to explain to young children and funny enough to hold the interest of older children. Makes learning manners fun and light hearted. The creators seem to have real insight into the behavior of children in the target age group!

This game is really for 4 players. I don't know how you would play with 12. We still have not figured out how you are suppose to use the yellow cards. I think it is a good game for ages 7 to 10. I tried to play with a 12 year old and 11 year old and they were bored. They thought the questions were dumb. Yes, I would play it again, but I would pick certain grandkids to play it with not too young and not after 10.
Fun Family Game

This game is fun while teaching the whole family manners. Be sure to shuffle the cards well, or you will end up with lots of multiple choice. Instead you could pick up a consequence card and hop on one foot! A good game.
Blunders Review

The vocabulary is a bit too much for a 5 year old, though the packaging says appropriate for 5+. Not so. Reading skill is required. Otherwise, it is a very good concept, though some of the examples and challenges are a "little silly." It needs to be made MORE REALISTIC to today's sub-teen kids.

My niece, 5, and nephew, 7, loved this game. They went to great lengths to demonstrate their "new manners". This game offers a clever approach to a wide variety of topics. Blunders teaches children manners and builds self-confidence. A must have!!
Maybe should be titled "The Manners Game"

Gave this as a gift to a 5 yr old, who wasn't always acting polite towards family, friends, etc.
Since she has played this game, she is now talking to her mom and dad very politely, the biggest change is she's saying, "thank you, Mother and "thank you" Father, which is very nice to hear. Would defintely recommend this game to others to teach manners when they are young.

The game has a lot of possibility with my work in schools with children. I think that the rating of 5-10year old could be expanded to a little older. The younger children often don't know the rules of things like how to set the table, so they need a little more help. And they of course cannot read the cards. But it was fun with the one wild child I played it with.
