Going Bananas For Bananagrams!
September 11, 2008 · Print This Article
Who doesn’t love bananas? They’re good for you AND they come in a happy yellow color. And who doesn’t love Scrabble games?
Well, our favorite game – Bananagrams – is similar to both!.
Bananagrams is an anagrams game. Players draw letter tiles to form individual crossword puzzles while peeling (drawing) and dumping (discarding) tiles. When a player uses all their tiles they call out "Bananas!" to win the game. Everybody forms their OWN collection of connecting and intersecting words. Each player can rearrange his or her own words as often as they want. It’s like Scrabble but you don’t have to wait your turn. You play independently of each other and at the same time.
Bananagrams is for 2-8 players with each round lasting as little as five minutes. The Learning Tree Toy Experts recommend this award winning game because it allows all ages to put words together at their own level and still be competitive. Grade-schoolers can play as happily as Grandmas – even in the same round.
This is a great travel game since you don’t have to write anything down and you don’t need a playing board. Take the game (in its cute little banana carrying case) to a restaurant and play while you wait for your meal to arrive, or toss it in a travel bag for something fun to do while waiting to board a flight. Want to stay at home? The game is perfect for a fun evening with family and friends
