If you spent even five minutes with my youngest son, you'd quickly learn that video games are his passion. Especially video game consoles. He loves learning about them, talking about them, reading about them, making them out of cardboard, making perler bead related crafts...you name it!
The things he knows about video game consoles is incredible. Release dates, games that came out for that console, accessory names...he knows it all.
But can he recognize the names of his favorites when they're all scrambled up? That's the goal of this video game console word scramble.
