It's a winner

I bought this game for my 4 year old and it turns out, my 4 year old and 2 1/2 year old play this game together, with the parents, and even alone. It is the game they ask for every night. A non-reader's version of Bingo, it is easy enough for the younger children to match the tile to the picture on their card. Would recommend this game.

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.

A GAME WE PLAY EVERY DAY!!!

My son got this for Christmas when he was 2 1/2 and is now 3. It is his favorite game and he begs to play this multiple times per day. There is no reading involved, but the pictures do have words underneath, so it does teach word recognition with pictures. It only takes about 5 minutes to play and sometimes less as he has become very quick at knowing what is on his board and quickly swipes the tile holder. The game states for ages 4 and up, but I think it should be for 2 and up.

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!
