- My 3 yr old Granddaughter loves this game.
- During my last visit with my Son and family, I sat down to play this game with my 3 1/2 yr old granddaughter. Wow, She loved it. Of course part of the fun was the cheering when we got close to getting our cards filled, then yelling ZINGO when the last piece was placed. She loaded the tabs in the dispenser without any help. She worked the dispenser and put the tabs on the cards herself. It was easy to match the picture on the plastic tabs to the cards. I found out she is a very good sport - when I was losing quite a bit, she said "Don't worry grandma, I can fix it". When her winning piece was drawn, I saw her put it behind her back and kept drawing until my card was full. Then she put her winning tab on her card and yelled " See, we both have ZINGO at the same time!!!"
Like any game, don't except to put it in front of a child without someone to share in the playing. It is a 2 person game. I found it was a very relaxing game to play with her because she did everything! I have pictures of us playing and I will always remember her yelling ZINGO. - 2007-08-01, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- GET THIS GAME FOR YOUR 3-6 YEAR OLD NOW!!!
- This is the BEST family game for young children!!! It is like an easier version of bingo - but the nifty card sorter is very fun. The cards have 2 sides, and one side is easier than the other (if younger kids are playing.) I bet a more advanced 2 year old could play this game. We brought this game in to my son's pre-K class for "game day" and the teacher said it was the class favorite, and asked if we could bring it in again. We bring it on every vacation - it is a great rainy day activity.

- Super fun
- This is a great alternative to traditional bingo. It can be played fast or just for fun. For our four year olds we had them call out the tile before the grabbed the tile to cut back on arguements or fights over the tiles. Fun!

- Really great idea that could be even better.
- I have a four year old and a six year old and they love to play this game. They get to match words with little pictures which is a great way to get them interested in reading and spelling. Also, the game has repeat play appeal. We played yesterday and the kids loved it, and they want to play it again tonight.
One minor inconvenience is that it does take a few minutes to reload the dispenser of yellow plastic word/picture pieces, but my sons happen to love reloading the little dispenser, so that actually makes it even more fun for them. Your milage may vary in this area.
That said, as I play with my kids I find myself wondering why there couldn't be several difficulty gradiated sets of words and cards. It would be more fun for me as adult if there was more variation in the cards and the words in play.
But the game is a lot of fun, and the price is right! - 2007-05-07, 1 of 1 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Good game for kids and parents
- My 4 1/2 year old son really likes this game. Some games my son has are just too tedious for me to play - after about 20 rounds of Hi-Ho-Cheerio I'm ready to pull my hair out. I don't know what it is about this one, but my husband and I don't mind (and maybe even LIKE) to play it. If you're a bingo fan, you'll love it.
