Wonderful For Two Players Or Twenty
Finally a word game that is just as engaging for two as it is for an entire roomful of players. Unlike the vast majority of word games, Word on the Street lends itself quite nicely to team play, allowing players of all abilities the opportunity to improve vocabulary and spelling skills while having fun.

Fast-Paced Game With Easy To Learn Strategy
The sturdy game board depicts a five-lane street with spaces for 17 consonants, B-Y. (J, Q, X and Z were excluded to streamline the game.) The first team to slide 8 letters all the way off the board on their side wins. So when do you get to slide those letters? Simple, begin by selecting a card, then your team has thirty seconds to brainstorm a word that fits both a particular category and contains the necessary letters to win the game. Cards include such categories as "a country in Europe" or "a health food" or even "something operated with both hands!" Because your goal is to move letters toward you and away from your opposing team, you will want to be selective about which word you pick. IE, if your category is "a country in Europe" and the letter G is already approaching your side of the board, you'll probably want to select Germany rather than Switzerland!

Spelling, Thinking, Creativity, Cooperation...
Word on the Street is a game that encourages vocabulary creativity, rewarding children for unusual and complex responses. And because it requires the ability to spell correctly, it will also promote spelling skills and compel children to work together to arrive at the correct spellings. Word on the Street is such a dynamic game that you will find that even children with short attention spans stay involved.

Top Quality Components
The game contains a game board, stout Bakelite letter tiles, a deck of 216 double-sided category cards (one side easy, the other side more difficult), a cardholder, sand timer, and super simple directions.

The More Players The Better
Can be played with as few as two players, but we have found that the excitement grows exponentially with more.
