Boggle Flash!

Amanda's dad sent us a cool new toy - Boggle Flash. It was supposed to be for the kids, but Amanda and I are having fun playing with it too. I first saw a prototype on TED a couple of years ago under the name of Siftables. Boggle Flash is based on that technology and is a set of blocks that display various letters that can be rearranged to make as many words as possible in a short amount of time. It's crazy fun.

The game was delivered straight to the classroom (as the postie knew where we'd be), so we threw aside our lesson plans and played Boggle Flash with the kids. They loved it.

  1. Very cool. Looks like a great teaching tool. The Siftables demo had a number of other functions. Does Boggle Flash have other functions?

  2. Nope :)

    But simple is always good, especially in game design.
