Professor Noggin's Card Games: Educational card game
Professor Noggin card games are sets of multi-topic card games designed to be fun and educational. Professor Noggin card games have sets for a variety of subjects ranging from life in the ocean to outer space. Each set is designed to be fun and educational so students can play it with their friends. Professor Noggins is a part of Outset Media which was founded to produce high quality games that made learning fun. Players ask each other questions from back of each card. If the question is answered correctly, the player "wins" that card. Whoever collects the most cards at the end of the game wins. There are 2 packs of cards in each set, a hard set and an easy set. Playing instructions can be found at: http://www.outsetmedia.com/sites/default/files/Instructions%20-%20Professor%20Noggins_11.pdf Parents enjoy the range of information that the card sets provide. Some of the information is general knowledge, but others are fun facts and exciting to learn about. Some parents don't like the art of the recent kits. Others have found a few factual errors in the answers.
