Summary of Play

The award-winning party game, Apples to Apples®, is now available in a junior version. This fast moving game promotes reading, vocabulary development, thinking skills and social skills. It's great for home and classroom: easy to learn, sets up and cleans up quickly, it's flexible for different group sizes and playtimes, and it's fun!

Apples to Apples® Kids plays just like the version for ages 12 and above except that the number of cards held in each players hand is reduced from 7 to 5, and the number of green apple cards needed to win is reduced to four. The game consists of 2 sets of cards: green apple cards, each displaying a word that describes people, places, things and events, and red apple cards, each showing the name of a person, place or event. The card tray keeps the cards stacked and makes it easy to move them as the role of judge rotates around the table. Each player simply selects the red apple card from their hand that they think is most like the green apple card played by the judge, and places it face down on the table. The judge mixes the cards, reads them aloud and selects the one he or she thinks is most like the word on the green apple card. For example, the judge might turn up the green apple card "Creepy" and the red apple cards played could include "Rats," "Muddy Feet," "Aladdin" "Jail," and "In the Basement." The judge's decision is final and the green card is awarded to the player of the red card selected by the judge. Each round takes about two minutes and all players participate in each round.
