Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
An SAT study guide in the form of a board game.
Why we love it:
School days are fast approaching and, for many high school seniors, that means studying for the dreaded SAT exam. This award-winning game is a fun alternative to traditional study aids, letting teens learn from and motivate each other while they play. It includes 500 questions that represent all five SAT categories, along with reading passage booklets for the critical reading and writing skills sections. Questions are timed so that players experience the test pace, and because the game is played in a group, players learn tips and tricks from each other. Game play involves risks and rewards that encourage players to answer their opponents' questions so that everyone plays every turn, while wild cards and hidden exam room locations keep the game interesting and exciting. This game is a great option for a teen study group, an SAT preparation class, or as a way for the whole family to get involved in the SAT experience. For 2 to 8 players.
