A Great Gift that Kids Love Sep 04, 2004
By Paula
I bought this game for my children several years ago on the advice of the owner of my favorite toy store. I love board games, and my children were 3 and 5 then, and just starting to enjoy them as well. Well, we couldn't get the kids to stop playing Zingo. They played quietly for more than 2 hours. Since you can play with up to 8 players, we have had lots of neighborhood kids playing the game out on the front steps. Since then, I have bought at least 10 Zingo games -- I have given them to all my children's friends and I always keep a few around to give out for birthday gifts. Everyone loves this game.

great design, great fun Jan 14, 2004
By audrey
This preschooler variation of the old favorite Bingo is a real winner. Zingo cards have a 3 by 3 grid that shows pictures and words. Cards have a yellow side (easier, for younger kids) and a red side for the odler ones. The plastic game piece dispenser is well-designed and fun to use. Players shout out to claim a piece, which is then placed over the appropriate square on the player's card. There are several play variations. Excellent game for the younger set, and fun for older children and adults as well.

Wonderful toy - kids love it! Nov 24, 2003

"mom of 3"
My son got this for his fourth birthday and still plays with it regularly (he's now over 5). He'd just started to read when he got it, and the game helped him add many new words to his vocabulary - but more importantly, it was fun! His friends loved it so much that several of them asked for their own sets as gifts. We play until everyone wins and gets to shout Zingo!, and the kids help each other get there. And my son even plays it sometimes by himself. It's really wonderful, very very fun, and would be great for kids from about 3 to at least 6.

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2MMLSN6OMFSQ3 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 year olds playing Zingo. You can see that even the 2 1/2 year old can play and can set up the game.

fun & educational Jan 18, 2008
By Lisa Pozzi
"Mama, Wife, Biz Owner"
My 4 yr old son received this game as a gift and he loves it. Basically it is Bingo with a twist, focusing more on sight words / images that kids can recognize. He loves playing with it, hands out the scorecards to anyone in our home who is willing to play.
What amazes me, though, is that my 20 month old daughter also loves this game and she has learned so many words from it that we wouldn't think to teach her. For instance, "ghost" "worm" "bug" "house". She recognizes them, says them (without prompting) and then matches them on her scorecard. I'm not saying this to tout my kid -- not at all, but because this has become a wonderful learning game for her.
The version of the game I have is actually by Discovery Toys, but I'm pretty sure its the same as this version by ThinkFun.
