TOY COUNCIL LAUDS WORDXCHANGE® JUNIOR FOR ITS FUN, EDUCATIONAL VALUE

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA – WORDXCHANGE Junior is a fun and educational game meriting the highest ranking from the Canadian Toy Testing Council.

“Vocabulary workout!” the Council said. “This word game for two to five players is great for helping kids boost their spelling and reading skills.”

The Canadian Toy Testing Council is a non-profit organization that has been evaluating toys for more than 50 years. It presents its results to parents and consumers.

“Each game includes 126 magnetic letter tiles, 20 word cards and a game board. Players must match magnetic letter tiles to six word cards positioned around the hexagonal game board,” the Council said. “Once players complete their word card, the card becomes theirs to keep. However, other players can ‘steal’ word cards by adding and rearranging letters to create new words. The winner’s goal is to create – and keep – five words. Games last about 30 minutes and can also be played by teams.”

WORDXCHANGE Junior is “a fun and educational game,” the Council concluded.

WORDXCHANGE (MSRP $24.99, ages 10 and up) and WORDXCHANGE Junior (MSRP $24.99, ages 5 and up), are award-winning family games from Prodijeux. Using quick wits and keen strategy, players build their vocabulary and logic skills while trying to outsmart their opponents.

The object of WORDXCHANGE Junior is to build words from magnetic letter tiles. Two to five players or teams may participate. The game includes an elegantly designed game board, a set of 20 special word cards, 126 magnetic letter tiles, an hourglass timer and a soft drawstring storage pouch for the letter tiles.
