This creative wonder is sure to entertain kids for hours. Players try to fill their Zingo! cards with matching tiles from the Zingo Zinger. The first player to fill his/her card wins! Rules can be adjusted to favor more or less competition among players, and to vary length of time that each game takes to play. Zingo teaches shape and pattern recognition, as well as observation, and short-term memory.
Includes Zingo Zinger tile dispenser, 72 picture tiles and 8 Double-sided Zingo cards.
For ages 4 and up.

Lots of Fun for Little Ones  Posted 03 December 2008
The age on this is 4 years, but my 3 year old love it and plays it both alone and with others. Its a great introduction to the idea of games which she is just discovering. It's essentially bingo and just matching the pictures coming out of the device to the ones on her card keeps her busy and make her happy. Its a pain to reload the pieces and they will surely get lost, but overall a solid product that I think will be around and be fun later as her intellect grows.
Best ever for the family ! Posted 29 November 2008
This is a great game, we can spend hours and hours playing and having so much fun!
Great game- great gift Posted 24 November 2008
I bought this game for my 2 boys about a year ago. My kids were then 3 and 6. We can all play this speed version of bingo because the tiles have a picture and the word. My younger son can use the picture to call out the name and does not have to read the words. They love the speed of the game. They each want to be the Zingo slider...the thing you slide to pull out the tiles. We have so much fun each time we play. This year I have bought this game for all my son's friends who turned 4. All parents say the kids love the game. It has been a huge hit! Very pleased.
Great Intergenerational Bingo Game!! Posted 19 November 2008
My kids loved this bingo game, particularly my younger son. It is mostly a game of luck, but also reflexes, because the first person to call out that they have the picture on the chip on their card, gets to keep the chip.
We used to take this to a nursing home to play with the seniors. It is perfect for that situation (a 4 year old and a couple of seniors), because it is a simple, familiar game, and the graphics are simple and easy for everyone to identify.
And, for my son, half the fun of this game was setting it up (stacking the chips in the dispenser) and sliding the dispenser forward and back to reveal the chips.
Highly recommended for the preschool/early elementary set. My son is 6 now, and he still pulls this out sometimes, but he has a hard time convincing his 11 and 9 year old siblings to play.
An option for older children, which has the same type of dispenser (and the dispenser is what makes this game) is "Smart Mouth", which dispenses two letters and players have to shout out a word that begins with the first letter and ends with the second.
Great product! Posted 11 November 2008
When I called my sister to see how her son (5 years old) liked this gift, she laughed. Apparently he burst into tears upon first seeing it because it wasn't another super hero action figure. She sat down with him and his older brother (6 years old) and they played a round and they've been playing it daily ever since. She also mentioned that her 5-year-old tends to be a bit of a sore loser and this game has helped her to help him overcome that tendency.
