ABSTRACT:
An educational device employing a game to teach words and their meanings. This educational device is comprised of four groups of game cards and a playing board. The front face of each game card is divided into six word designations and on the back of the card are the meanings of that word designation. The playing board is divided into four stations of play, each equipped with an erasable answer slate for writing each player's answers and score board. The game board has two scoring disc holders and a spin dial and pointer used to randomly select a game card from a particular group of cards and to randomly select a word on the game card. The spin dial is divided into twenty-four sectors, each of which is color coded to correspond to one of the four color coded groups of cards. Each color coded sector has an indicia corresponding to one of the six word designations on one of the four playing card groups. For quick reference the twenty-four sectors and the corresponding playing cards are color coordinated.
