Top Trumps: Elements

We have quite a few top trumps games as we usually get them for the kids stockings at Christmas, so there is always a danger of it being a bit samey. This set is great cos my kids are enjoying learning the facts about the elements, and we’ve been learning a few things too!

bought this for my older daughter to help with her chemistry, ended up playing with both kids, 11 and 13, they enjoyed it, but as with any game you have to keep playing with them, they'll get bored of you leave it to them. as such, this hasn;t been used since christmass, over a month ago. i'll get back on it, beacuse they did pick up little things whilst playing and the more you do that the more they'll pick up. in a nutshell, great for kids doing chemistry in highschool :)

I bought these as a gift for my boyfriend and they're great fun! You learn some cool facts about the elements and I was quite surprised by certain things, such as the most expensive element included in the set. My only criticism is that it doesn't include every element and so wouldn't double up as a make-your-own periodic table, which would have been good practice for learning to put them in the right order. Still, it isn't sold as having them all and as a game is perfectly good fun!

Nice Top Trumps although it didn't come with a container like the others we've had.

Bought these for a mate who is a chemistry teacher at a local high school. He loved them.

Son loves this fun top trumps - interesting facts for kids and nice images.

This is great to use for my students as a way to learn the names of the elements and what they’re used in.

My boyfriend is doing a Chemistry degree at university and loved this as part of his birthday present - has a wide range of elements with fun facts, discovery date, price etc. Great game. This would also be great for teaching kids about the elements.

Son unas cartas geniales.

I received a damaged card case, A broken plastic case isn’t safe for children. I submitted a replacement request and received another broken case.

My 8 year old loved this instantly.. great graphics, cool fun facts and amazing way to learn periodic table.. comes in a good box to store.. little disappointed though, as not all elements are included..

Jeu conforme à la description. Très pratique pour un prof de sciences. Tout s'est bien passé.

Die Kategorien sind gut gewählt und die Zusatzinfos und Bilder ermöglichen es, sich unter der abstrakten Elementbezeichnung etwas vorzustellen. Besonders gut finde ich, dass einem Wissen über die Elementen auch bei der Wahl der richtigen Zahl hilft. Mein Sohn (8 J.) wusste nach kurzer Zeit, welches Element in welcher Hinsicht gut oder schlecht ist. Gemeinsam haben wir die Karten gelesen und er konnte sich die englischen Kategorienamen schnell merken, da man diese Namen ja ständig wiederholt. Er hat dann begeistert mit seinen Freunden gespielt und sich in einem deutschen Buch zusätzlich über Elemente informiert. Ein Chemiker wird man allein davon sicher nicht, aber es macht Chemie interessant und Kinder können die Elemente ohne Zwang und Druck kennenlernen.
