This is one of the best kids games made today! I don't normally like to get down & play games because either the kids can't follow the rules, or the game takes forever, or all the kids can't all play it together. This game is completely different. Our kids are 2, 4, & 6 and they can play this game completely by themselves; even my 2 year old likes to shout out "cake" when that tile appears.

The tiles feed from a little dispenser that puts out 2 tiles at a time. The "caller" says the names of the pictures (easy even for non-readers!) and the first person who yells that they have that picture puts the tile on their bingo card. It's easiest at our house if we just play "fill the card", so the games are a little longer, but they're still very quick.

I even like to get down and play this game. Sometimes I'm the caller and sometimes not. It's easy to get excited when everyone is yelling "star" or "duck" trying to be the first to get their tile. As a bonus, it's even helping our 2yo to speak more.
