High School Musical enters the living room - again!, 2009-11-22
Purchased for a five year old HSM fan, who still plays with it 12 months later. Whilst it only plays two songs ('Fabulous' and 'You are the music in me'), these are only parts of the melodies, and not all of them. There's also the option to sing independently into the microphone. The fact that there are only small parts of each of the song can be viewed as a positive or negative - it could have been longer or alternatively, you don't have to listen to it all. As it does give the option of singing into the microphone with no backing etc, it does make this better value. Have not been sorry to have purchased this item, and would recommend for young HSM fans.

Great supplemental learning tool, 2010-01-04
I bought this as a supplement to my esl classes. I had bought the Math BrainBox first, but found it a bit too specialized. The World Brain Box is wonderful. The cards are very durable, full of colors, the pictures are well done and the captions very clear. The box itself is very inviting and my students can't wait to finish the main part of the lesson so that they can play and there are really interesting facts about each country that intrigue them. The ten seconds that the game allows to 'memorize' as many of the facts on the cards as possible is pretty dauting, but I just turn over the timer a couple of times so that they can absorb more. In any case, they improve quickly as they get the nack of the game. It's a different way to work on their comprehension as they have to listen carefully to the questions I ask. With the younger ones I'll ask questions I'm pretty sure they can answer and leave out the more difficult ones, with the older ones, they get whichever question the dice calls for!
I'm really pleased with the addition. I've used it for all of my students, which means from 9-year-olds to adults. With the adults I let them read the questions themselves so it's not so much a test but a way to learn that's less intimidating. Once you go through all the cards it's probably time to move on to something else, but there are a lot of cards and if you have a lot of students, or your children are perfectionists and like to repeat them, it's a very worthwhile investment.

Great bathtime fun, 2010-01-27
Bought these for our 2 year old, who loves his bathtime and they went down a storm. The only problem was then he did not want to leave them behind in the bath and dripped water all the way through the house. Great fun.
