Zingo! Kids Bingo with a Zing

Zingo! Bingo with a Zing

Zingo Bingo might not entice your kids unless you are singing about a dog, but ZINGO! gets them every time.

The cards are fun to look at, and the Zingo! Zinger tile dispenser is a sure child pleaser. (I recommend finding some clever way to select who will be the Dealer and user of the Zinger)

The object of the game: Players try to be the first to cover all spaces on their Zingo! card with matching tiles.

How to play the game: Dealer presses the Zingo Zinger tile dispenser to dispense two picture tiles for the game players. Players review their given cards and try to fill their cards with the matching picture tiles. Rules can be adjusted to favor more or less competition among players, and to vary length of time that each game takes to play.

Why parents love this game:

Zingo! helps build social and learning skills like image/word matching and recognition

Zingo teaches children spelling and vocabulary
It's made of sturdy pieces that can survive years of use, and sticky fingers!
