Hangman Post It Notes Review

My Hangman Post It Notes arrived shortly after Christmas and we have already used them several times. First at home to try them out, and then a couple of times at restaurants, while we were waiting for our food.

They are a nice size for writing short word combinations or one long word. That however is fine with us, giving the convenience that they offer. They are small enough for me to carry in my purse and are a ready source of activity.

Another big plus with this little game, is that my daughter has not resorted to her cell phone as a boredom buster, but now prefers to play a game or two of hang man instead.



This is an example of how much room you have to write.



We cross the letters off as they are called, whether they are used in the word(s) or not; then we can easily see which letters are remaining.

These little Hangman Post It Notes has two thumbs up from us.

This hangman game is also made on dry erase boards.

Hangman Dry Erase Board from Zazzle Review

My daughter and I like playing hangman, and started playing it on a small dry erase board. We liked the convenience and sturdiness of it, so I decided to make one on Zazzle.com.

I made a hangman design and added the alphabet, and repeated it to be able to play three games before having to erase.

The game is played a little different on the alphabet version, as each letter is crossed off from the alphabet, whether it is used or not, so the players can see the remaining letters left. That part may require a little getting used to, but overall works pretty well.

The hangman figure and the alphabet remain after erasing, which is pretty cool, for playing the game.

The dry erase board itself, from Zazzle, is made of an acrylic which has some thickness to it, and is see through. The print and the hangman design are printed on the card stock that it is attached to. This means, that if you're looking at the design straight on, everything looks good and lined up.

However, if you look at the board from an angle, the lines over the letters that have been crossed off, will appear a bit off set. So the board may need to be repositioned to see clearly which letters remain. Other than that, the game works well.

It's also fun to play it on Post-It-Notes paper.
