BalanceSeeker Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'm having a flashback to when I was a kid, and whenever we'd be driving in the car, I'd bring along my portable Speak 'n Spell and/or Speak 'n Math. I really knew how to spell because of that little machine, and always won my classroom spelling bees. I'm still a great speller. Does anything like that exist anymore? Ah, those were the good 'ol days... Christa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Coast Sue Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Yes, I have found memories of my speak n' spell. I look around for one for my kids- and they just don't seem to exist. Now, I'll pass on a warning- Do NOT go looking on e-bay b/c some freaks have hoarded all existing speak n' spells and they have put some new evil speaking sound equipment into a perfectly wonderful toy.... ok, I'm slightly exaggerating, but only slightly.... trust me I've looked and it is depressing.

jenL Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I LOVED my Speak N Spell, and I really wish it was still available for my kids. It was such a great (and useful) toy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladydusk Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I still have mine, put batteries in it, and it *worked.* My kids were fascinated and call it their computer, but of course they're too little for it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Vane Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I loved my Speak-n-Spell!!! And I feel compelled to mention that I won my school's spelling bee two years in a row!!! :) I did look for one a couple years ago for my dd, but they just do not exist. You can get other spelling games, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2hunangirls Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I loved my speak n' spell!!! I was awesome with it! Sadly, I'm a horrible speller now. Really bad. Weird, huh? What about Merlin? Remember that? After I outgrew the game it was my "phone". :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faline Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I still have both my Speak N Spell and Speak N Math. :D I always liked the math one better than the spelling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hathersage Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 What about Merlin? Remember that? After I outgrew the game it was my "phone". :D They still make merlin, although it doesn't look quite the same http://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-41695-Merlin-Electronic-Puzzle/dp/B0001NE2Q4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs_JWM Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I bought all the Speak 'n ... games this year on eBay - even Speak 'n Music! I hadn't heard of it until I saw it on eBay, but it's very fun! Don't get any of the ones listed as circuit-bent - they're for people doing electronic music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amyco Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Now there's something I hadn't thought about in a long time. I did have a Speak-n-Spell. Maybe a Math thing too. Pretty sure I had a Merlin as well. And I thought my childhood was all sticks and rocks, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
