The anagram game that will drive you BANANAS!
This award-winning word game needs no pencil, paper, or bulky board. It is fast and fun. One hand can be played in as little as 5 minutes. Play at home, in restaurants, campgrounds, etc. Great for travel!
Contains:
Cloth banana shaped pouch
144 letter tiles
Rules for Play:
Place all 144 tiles face down on center of table. These tiles are referred to as the "BUNCH". For games of 2-4 people, each player takes 21 letters from the bunch, keeping them face down. For 5-6 players, 15 letters are taken. For 7-8 (or more) players, 11 letters are taken.
NOW THE GAME BEGINS!!! Any one player says "SPLIT" whereupon all players turn their own tiles face up and proceed to form their OWN collection of connecting and intersecting words. The words may be horizontal or vertical, reading left to right or top to bottom. Each player may rearrange his/her own words as often as desired. Players DO NOT take turns, but play independently of each other and at the same time.
When a player has none of his/her original letters left, that player says "PEEL" and takes a tile from the bunch. At this point ALL OF THE OTHER PLAYERS MUST ALSO TAKE A TILE FROM THE BUNCH and add it to their collection of letters.
At any time, and as often as desired during play, any player may return a difficult-to-use letter back to the center of the BUNCH, face down, but MUST TAKE THREE LETTERS IN RETURN. The player must declare this action to the other players by saying "DUMP". This exchange does not affect the other players.
Play continues until there are fewer tiles in the BUNCH than there are players. The first player with no remaining letters shouts "BANANAS" and is the winner of that hand. The other players may now inspect the winning hand for misspelled or incorrect words. Proper nouns are not acceptable. Any available dictionary may be used. If all words are acceptable, that player is the WINNER OF THAT HAND. If any word in the "winning" hand is found to be unacceptable, that player becomes the “Rotten Banana” and is OUT OF THAT HAND, and must return his/her letters, face down to the center bunch and the game now resumes for the remaining players.

Bananagrams is a great game to take with you while on vacation or to play at home. Several people can play at their own pace. Both young and old alike will enjoy this word game. It not only helps the little ones build their spelling skills but it sharpens everyones vocabulary.

What a great, easy, and educational game for children to play! As a teacher, my new set of Bananagrams is hanging out in our "Rainy Day Games" box and will certainly go to great use! This game really equires hands-on and minds-on thinking in a creative and engaging way. Children will find themselves working on spelling and word use without really even trying! I especailly love that children will be playing against one another but in a very independent and less competitve way. On top of that, all of the fun banana related terms give it an extra little flare of fun! What a great tool and toy!

This is a fun variation on Scrabble type games. It is a faster moving game that can be played in a shorter time period. It can be played by two or by several people or even as a solitaire game. As a teacher, I can see this game in classrooms as well as at home. It is very portable so it would be easy to take on trips.

This is a great game because our whole family can play it. Our kids are ages 8-13, so it's fun to find something we can all do together.
