Big Thinkers 1st Grade Reviews

Review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently stumbled upon "Big Thinkers 1st Grade" on Steam, and let me tell you, it was a blast from the past! As someone who grew up playing educational games in the '90s, revisiting this gem was like reconnecting with an old friend. First and foremost, I was impressed by how well the game holds up even after all these years. The colorful graphics and lively animations immediately transported me back to my childhood. But beyond the nostalgia, "Big Thinkers 1st Grade" still excels in delivering engaging and educational content. The variety of activities is staggering, covering everything from math and language arts to science and social studies. What's truly remarkable is how seamlessly these lessons are integrated into fun games and puzzles. Whether it's solving mysteries with the detectives or exploring the depths of the ocean with the marine biologist, there's never a dull moment. I also appreciate the attention to detail in designing the characters and environments. Each character feels unique and relatable, and the environments are richly detailed, sparking curiosity and imagination. Furthermore, the positive reinforcement and encouragement throughout the game are invaluable. Instead of simply rewarding correct answers, "Big Thinkers 1st Grade" emphasizes the importance of effort and perseverance, instilling a growth mindset in young players. In conclusion, "Big Thinkers 1st Grade" is more than just a game; it's a journey through childhood learning and discovery. Whether you're a parent looking for educational entertainment or simply a nostalgic adult longing for simpler times, this game is sure to delight and inspire. Highly recommended!

Big Thinkers: 1st Grade was a follow up to the previous game except with educational games aim towards a 1st grade level student. The concept and scenario are the same except the mini games are different. But since the game takes place at the same location it can easily be mistaken for the first game. So in other words there is nothing new to provide in this installment. All of the other Humongous Games did different scenarios for their sequals so it makes you wonder why this one didn't do the same. Originally there was meant to be a second grade level sequal, but it was scrapped when these games proved to be too ambitous for what they're worth. Which is fine cause I didn't expect there to be anymore than a fourth level game. Overall the game isn't bad to play but I'd rather play the Pajama Sam games instead.

Even though I've never having previously played this, as I was unaware of it even existing, I'd certainly recommend this, along with the kindergarten game of big thinkers, to anybody, not just youngsters, but young adults (with Autism) too.

{Drunk SeriesSeries Review} You know whats better than playing these drunk, playing these drunk with friends, so they can make fun of you. Not much to say, I'm smarter than a 1st Grade even drinking, kind of. Still fun. Video Posts - 12/7/24 https://youtu.be/_QAFrxVlEeo

I grew up playing this game, and my goodness, did it leave a mark. If you're a parent, please get this game for your children. I've just spent money on the entire H.E. Set here on steam, I loved it so much. I am over 21+ now, and still think about this at least once or twice a year. It's a very educational series, and I implore you to get the others or entire bundle. This specific game is the second game in the set, Kindergarten being the first. I remembered the theme song, the colors, the games, and oh my, the stars. I spent hours on this, learning more and educating myself on a lot of things school wasn't effectively teaching me. It kept me wanting to learn, and not even realize I was learning. I would've played all day if my parents let me. Also, good time to note, get this game even if you're not a parent. Get it if you're an adult or teenager on your own, because the cute quirky graphics and games will make you want to get all the stars you can, and I guarantee you won't forget it easily. Yes, it looks a little old, and is absolutley made for first grade children, but like I've gushed about, its a very good game. 10,000,000/10. And hey, H.E., yall should send me a shirt or something if you ever see this so I can gush about it more and wear it on tiktok or something haha. Get ALL the 20+ year olds playing your games.

Classic gaming right here! Very nostalgic, I wish HE was still making games. <3

This is a great game for 1st graders to play! It's much better than JumpStart, because it has more creative activities, as well as a bigger challenge called the "SuperStar of Smarts" that acts as a lesson review for kids. There are also different difficulty levels for the game, too! If you are a parent of a 1st grader reading this, I strongly recommend you buy it for them!

I downloaded this game for my daughter, who really enjoyed all of it. Even though the game appears to be older, the content is still relevant and she spent as much time as allowed playing it. I didn't actually do anything to "measure" how much knowledge it was adding for her, but I saw her having fun learning. Not to mention, that she continued to play it when she was also in second and sometimes even third grade, and was disappointed that there was not these versions available on Steam (at the time). I'm not sure if there are even Big Thinkers 2nd/3rd Grade, but if so I can guarantee that she would've played it.

Bought this game for my 6 year old brother. He absolutely loved it, Very fun and stimulating for children at that age with small in game rewards for completing assignments/objectives to keep them motivated. I have pretty low end-medium laptop as its not even a gaming laptop and it runs the game with no problem. I got it on sale for $4-5, But after having played it myself and with my brother i would recommend buying it even at full retail which was $7. Humongous Entertainment if you are reading this I wish you would come out with more of these games for higher grade levels. at least until 5th grade. One of the best parts of this experience is seeing the little ones get so excited to play this game and go for more smart stars.

Big Thinkers 1st Grade is a game for kids of 6-7 years old. In it, you have a brother and a sister that can tranform themselves in many things and that are explaining the games and encouraging kids. Ben and Becky are searching for Smart Stars around their house. And these can be obtained by playing minigames. Each minigame is covering a field: for example, in the living room, kids can express themselves through an art activity while in the library, they can practice their geography without forgetting the time telling in the kitchen. Each activity met with success will be rewarded with Smart Stars that can be used for a challenge. Some minigames, like the time telling, have different difficulties: it can be more objects or thougher questions. The games are really varied and use mechanics that you still find today in educational applications. So, yeah, I do think that Big Thinkers 1st Grade can be still in use nowadays. However, what may be a little hard to get past at is the graphics. What will follow is pasted from my review of Big Thinkers Kindergarten. Not that I mind old graphics, as you know. After all, I began playing with Super Mario Bros and Doom II triggered a real passion. But some of them aren't aging well. Big Thinkers is among them. It's like seeing an old cartoon. True, back then, these were frequent in the adventure genre. However, today, it seems not at all clear. There are many information on the screen that it's nearly making you scream that it's not user-friendly. I understand that the education behind is probably the main reason but I don't care about words like Pantry or Rightly, though I suppose that for the kids, it's showing them something that is obvious for the adult. Anyway, you can interact with nearly everything, as far as your cursor is a white arrow. As an adult, it can seem to be too much but for a kid, it's amusing. Myself, I got intrigued by what can happen. If I have to say something for the soundtrack, it's correct. It's more the voice acting that is a pain in my ears, mainly Ben's voice. I'm always under the impression that he tries to be louder than Becky. Big Thinkers is in English. Total English. I don't know if there were any translated version because it would have been interesting for the other languages. If as a teacher or a parent, you have no problem in English as second language, you can guide your kid in the game. If some activities can be easy to understand, like the art or music activity, self-explanatory or like the money one where you can guess that you need to pay items, others require knowledge of English vocabulary - it's nicer to understand the stories that the kid is imagining or the questions in geography. Anyway, 10 activities can be played by non-English speaking children. Big Thinkers 1st Grade is a good educational game, whether for the classroom or for home. The graphics may have aged not so well but the rest is still "modern". Ah and if you don't manage to find how to exit the game, put your mouse at the bottom of the screen, the menu should appear. It's sad that there is nothing to indicate it though.
