We got this game when my kids were 3 & 5. This one comes off the shelf more than any other game. They can play it without help, it is easy for newcomers to learn. It's a good ice breaker, and it's great for the neighborhood gang. The board and pieces are in good shape but the box has been stepped on too many times. It prepares kids to think and develop ideas before presenting to a group. They laugh and have fun while practicing for school and career.

We have owned this game for several years and even our youngest (just turned 3) understood and enjoyed the game thoroughly. Kids act out the cards like a regular charades game, but the cards do not require reading and are definitely fun for all ages. This was one of the first board games our kids played more than once and it continues to be a favourite, even with our 9 year old. I would highly recommend it!
Wonderful non-competitive interactive game for little ones!

My daughter received this game as a gift and has enjoyed it for several years now (age 3- age 5). The game is low pressure, but high energy fun. She loves acting out the animals and is surprisingly good at charading the household items and activities included in the game. The pictures make it easy for prereaders to play,and the game has worked well for groups of varying ages including older cousins and even Granddaddy. After playing it repeatedly, the game cards will be memorized by frequent players, and although this hasn't dulled the excitement for my daughter, I might make up some new cards just to keep myself interested. Some 3 and 4 year olds may need adult assistance in planning how to act out their cards, so we usually have a support adult when playing with the littlest kids. All in all it is a fantastic game that I would recommend to any family or day care with younger children.
My kids love this game!

My 3 year old and my 5 year old love to play Kids on Stage. They do a surprisingly good job of acting out the cards and are thrilled when someone guesses right. I like this game because its different from most of the board games out there for young kids- they have to think and plan out what they want to do. Most games for this age group rely on luck.
A plus for imagination building

We bought this game five years ago for our then 3 yr old son. Not only was it his favorite game, but it is now the favorite game of his little brother, who is four. In fact, he even plays it with his imaginary friend! The game is basically charades for kids who can't read yet. It's relatively non competitive. On each turn, a player spins the spinner, advances the number of spaces to a colored spot on the board, draws a card of the same color, then has to act out whatever picture is on the card (a bird, a flower...). It is great fun to play with your child-- hilarious what they come up with to "act out" on their turn. (Imagine a 3 yr old acting out a refrigerator!) Frequently we have to cheat and look at the card while they are acting, to make sure we can figure out what they are doing. Our whole family enjoys playing this with the little ones.
