Mixed age play not very possible
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 10 year old son and I wanted to love this game. I love how portable it is with the convenient pouch set-up. Instructions were simple enough as well. There just wasn't a way for him and I to really engage in the side-by-side way the game play is set up. He struggled a lot more when he got stuck with tougher letters. It looked more fun than it ended up being to play with family.

Super fun
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is great for spelling and just making words for photo albums. One kid just made stories with the letters until we all sat down to play the game. Super fun for the whole family.

Fun game
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bananagram is a very fun game. It is pretty fast paced. Similar yet different than Scabble. You get tiles, form intersecting words, but not on a big board, you just make your own grid. Play is simultaneously, no turns, everyone just keeps going until someone wins! Fun terms to use, Split, Peel and Bananas! Split - gets the games started! Peel - when someone runs out of tiles, forcing everyone to get more tiles! Bananas - when someone used up all the letters! Soo fun, but can get very competitive!

Fun and addictive!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve been playing Bananagrams as a family and we can’t get enough! It’s a fun, fast-paced word game that’s super easy to learn, so you can jump right in without a long explanation, but it still keeps everyone thinking. Games are quick, which makes it perfect for family game nights, or just filling a few spare minutes. I love how competitive (and a little chaotic) it gets as everyone races to build their words. It’s great for all ages, gets kids practicing spelling without realizing it, and always leads to laughs. I love the pouch that it comes with that keeps all the pieces together!

Let's go Bananas!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gather round the table for a fun, family game of banana grams! Great for budding readers and spellers for extra practice, this fast paced game allows everyone to use their brain and have fun. Great for a gift as well, this game easily stores in a fun banana shaped bag and doesn't take up much room- great for traveling. Sure, it's similar to another game, but this one allows you to build off of other player's words as well and has a few other differences too. Pick one up today for some family fun!

Such a fun word game
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have three kids ranging from 4 to 15 and we love to play games. The bananagrams classic from moose games is so much fun. It's great watching my kids come up with the biggest words, so they're learning and playing and having fun all at the same time.

Makes you really use your brain
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love playing this game with my children but like my mother used to play with me. This how I learned how to spell and come up with words and able to get off the video games sometimes and just bond through playing this game. All the pieces can fill in the banana package and use to clean up as well.
