ALTHOUGH kids love computers there's still plenty of room in the family fun for board games.

And Vocabulon is one that increases their word power as well as their knowledge.

It's the best-selling word game from France, now lauched here in association with Kingfisher dictionaries. Designed for 2 to 4 players or teams, seven year-olds and over will be literally spellbound as they find their way out of the Well of Knowledge, solving define-and-spell clues as they go.

You can be a sea rescuer, mountain guide, safari reporter or spy. The idea is to be the first home with all the letters of a hidden word -- the secret password needed to win.

A dice and 60-second timer are included in the price of £19.99. Look for it in branches of Toys R Us, Co-op and selected Toymaster stores.
