GenerationsTM is great fun for family and friends who like puzzles and logic reasoning!

Several game options ensure that play never becomes boring and that different levels of skill can be achieved. Variations include:
  • Logic Reasoning: Adapt for the time you have and the playing skill levels by varying the number of search categories. .
  • Storytelling: At the end of the game, the winner cab make up a story about the discovered ancestor's life using "facts" found during play. This variation develops imagination and communication skills, while reinforcing U.S. and family history, culture and values.
  • True Family History: Introduce players to real family stories as they "travel" regions of the United States asking questions about their pretend ancestors, where they were born, how they may have lived and how they earned their living.
  • Classroom Fun: Make GenerationsTM part of homeschool or classroom projects, gifted and talented programs or after school activities.
