Picturesque Word Games (2007)

(Text by the publisher) Bildschöne Wortspiele is a compact collection of 8 card games that deal with images and associated words. The set contains 100 cards (90 photos, 6 jokers, 4 blancs), 4 cards with suggestions for words, 1 booklet with rules and examples.
The principal mechanism is very simple: You form compounds by combining the words that you associate with two or more photos. A photo doesn’t represent only one word. For instance, for the photo that shows an eagle you can also say "bird", or "beak", or "head", or "feather", or "claw", or "animal" and so on. Thus, in combination with other cards in the set, you can form numerous words such as "bird bath", "bird table", "frigate bird", "game bird", "pack animal", "stuffed animal", "animal farm", "animal world" and so on.
The games can be played on all language levels. The selection of the photos ensures that you can form a large number of compounds within the range of basic vocabulary. Also, you can extend the linguistic range deliberately in terms of code, style and special languages.
In educational contexts the games cannot only be used for vocabulary training. It is also possible to train more subtle competences such as abstract thinking (eagle > bird > animal), the perception of paralleles and differences (bird: bird of prey vs. singing bird), style and narrating (you put down one card after another and let narrate / narrate yourself).
You can play most of the games either in competition or in coordination. Some of the games you can even play on your own. Depending on which game is played, the emphasis is on speed, concentration, memory, or wit. All the games are a challenge to imagination.
The games are suited for cross-generational, highly communicative playing within the family. They have also been designed for educational and therapeutical purposes. (End of text by the publisher)
