USA Weekend The Big Book of Frame Games Paperback – April 19, 2011

I am a big fan of the frame game (thus the 3 stars) , but this book was a disappointment. The package ( unpadded envelope) was sent USPS and it arrived bent ( folded to fit in mailbox) with a damaged corner. The pages are not in color; printed in B&W on inexpensive paper.

I mentor teenagers in a juvenile facility. Along with helping them with their school work, I keep a supply of just-for-fun books; short stories, word searches, crosswords, anagrams, etc., but this Frame Games book is the most sought after of all. I'm glad that I bought it, and am seeking to purchase more of them. Actually, the adults here also have fun with this book, so it never remains idle for long. It's great to see a group of adults and teens working together, figuring out the answers!Try it. You'll like it!

Liked the games, good variety. Seem a little easy.

Having done these frame games each week from our local newspaper, I purchased one of the smaller Frame Game books.My grandson, my son, daughter and I had so much fun doing these frame games. When I saw this "Big Book of Frame Games", I knew I had to get it right away so we could start our friendly competition of solving the games.I highly recommend this book for all ages. Truly a fun book for the whole family.

Students in my seventh grade English class love it when I pull out this book when we have a few extra minutes at the end of class. They get so excited when they get a puzzle right! Most of the time, the correct answer to a puzzle, such as, "cut the mustard," leads to a great discussion on idioms, what they mean, and where they come from. I love this book and I wish there were more like it. I would buy them all!

Exercise your brain with these clever puzzles. I really like that the answers are upside down on the next page so you don't have to go to the back of the book and find your page. Best of all, few of these are based on obscure phrases. If you really look at the puzzle, you can solve it!

I play these with people at the nursing home and assisted living. They love trying to figure it out

Such a cool book!

Love posting these for my students and having them guess!
