Have you seen all of the amazing reviews on Super Duper products that have been cropping up recently? My wish list is getting longer by the minute! Super Duper is no doubt my ‘go to’ company when I am in the market for new materials! My bookshelves are full of their great products! That is why we were thrilled when Carrie from Super Duper contacted us about a product review. She supplied the game, but the opinion is all mine!
What: The Question Challenge
Card Game includes 300 color-coded question cards, 50 answer cards, electronic
spinner, and 144 tokens.
Who: This game was fantastic with my
older students 3rd-6th grade (you could probably do a
little older or younger- this was just the age group that worked best for me.)
How Much: $44.95
Categories: Calm through self-talk, inferencing,
determining perspective, cognitive flexibility, predicting, body language,
questions in conversation, social encouragement, stating opinions, and sarcasm
Why my kids love it: The kids were wild about the electronic spinner. (It’s the little things I guess…) And it offered a great way to have fun and still work on their goals!
How to play: 1. Pick an answer
challenge card and follow directions. Once you answer your question card you
may spin and earn tokens. Whoever has the most tokens wins. If I had a small
group (1-2) then I did not use the answer cards and just the students use the
question cards and earn tokens.
2. Give each player 7 cards. They spin to see how many
questions they must answer. Once they answer they lay the card face down on the
table. Whoever runs out of cards first wins!

Goals it met: Following directions, problem solving, reasoning, lots of pragmatic opportunities, vocabulary, expressive/receptive language and it offered a great chance for my artic kids to practice their good speech sounds in conversation!
What I would change: Even
though my kids LOVED the electronic spinner it takes a little while to land on
a number. It eats up a little time, but the good news is you can turn the sound
off if it is the 5th time you have played with it that day!
Tip: I found it was best to have a small bowl/cup for my kids to collect their tokens in. Otherwise, they just played with the tokens and they ended up everywhere!
As a bonus don’t forget the Question Challenge Fun Sheets!
These were great to give as homework and to use in the classroom! In fact, I
had some of my students answer/complete the worksheet to earn tokens. And I
love that you can copy from the book or print from the CD! It is $34.95.

I've tried to use the electronic spinner, but it takes waaaay too long for it to land on a number. After the first couple of times, the kids even lost interest.
May have to add this to my supply of super duper products!
