Games magazine junior kids’ big book of games

Description

GAMES magazine was started in 1977 and has been puzzling people ever since.
Maybe you’ve seen it in a friend’s or relative’s house. If so, you’re not alone: A
lot of young people have seen it—and liked it. When the editors of GAMES
heard that there were a great many kids out there who wanted a magazine of
their own that was just like GAMES, we listened.
In July 1987, we tested GAMES Junior as a 16-page insert within GAMES
Special Edition. The response was enthusiastic, and in October 1988 we
launched GAMES Junior as a regular publication. We’ve been publishing it for
two years now, and already it has become a favorite recreation at home and in
the classroom.
Like GAMES, the primary goal of GAMES Junior is to provide entertainment
by supplying innovative verbal, visual, and logic puzzles. We create games that
we hope will challenge, amuse, and occasionally stump our readers. As an
added attraction that parents and teachers like (but which you’re not supposed
to know), the puzzles in the magazine may enhance problem-solving abilities
and improve language skills.
This book includes all of the puzzle types that you will find in GAMES
Junior magazine, organized by chapter. There are connect-the-dots, what’swrong-with-this-picture? puzzles, crosswords, riddle searches, mini mysteries
in Detective’s Notebook, magic tricks, games, and quizzes. The final chapter,
Big Bad Toughies, contains challenging puzzles from all of the categories. The
last puzzle, Seven Up!, was designed especially for this book. It consists of
seven mini puzzles, which all need to be solved in order to find the answer to
the overall puzzle.
So get to it! Sharpen some pencils and dig in!
