Product Overview
Roll A Word turns spelling practice into a hands-on game for one or more players. Kids roll the dice, see which letters land face-up, and group them together to build words, with a little strategy involved in choosing which dice to use and figuring out where to start. The set includes 10 dice plus a carry sack, so everything packs up between rounds. It's built for ages 4-9, and since it contains small parts, it's not intended for children under 3.
- Roll and go: flip the dice, view the letters, and arrange them into words
- 10 dice give plenty of letter combinations to work with each round
- Carry sack keeps all the pieces together between games
- Helps build spelling and word-formation skills through play
- Gets more familiar and faster with repeat play, ages 4-9
