My 5 yr old loves it!! New before-bed game!
This is exactly the type of game we needed! My son is in kindergarten and is just starting to get the hang of reading sight words. This will help SO MUCH. It’s perfectly repetitive and even has some visual cues sometimes (the numbers, for example). He’s doing a great job!He’s autistic, so this also helps us with learning to follow directions and take turns. It’s so fun…. Def getting some booster packs!The only issue we have is the tiles getting stuck or coming out in multiples (sometimes). That’s when we use it on carpeting; if we do it on a hard surface, it’s fine!Highly recommend this for ages 4+!

Great game for beginning readers
Bought this game once for my own children as they entered Kindergarten & it made learning sight words fun (even for my preschooler!) Ordering it again for my 1st grade nephew. Sturdy game pieces. Perfect size. Super easy to play.

Great learning game!
This is a favorite game of my 4 year old. We are working on him learning sight words so he can begin his reading journey. He’s slowly picking it up and I think it’s from this game.

simply fun!
Lots of fun!Pros:1) fun way to learn sight words. It is always good for us to take school work out of the equation, and just make it fun!2) the format is easy and keeps the game compact and neat. We have the traditional zing as well, and this is great. If you get a card you don’t need, simply slip it back into the dispenser using the sits on the top.3) the game is 100% words, so kids learn what the sight words are. There are some tiny symbols, but not really pictures.Cons:No big cons. We love zingo games. The only thing that makes it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I wish there were more sight words in the game, or they had two card and tile sets. Not a deal breaker, but something to note.

Zingo is a fun way to learn sight words especially with my children’s competitive nature!!!

I bought this game to play with my 7 and 5 year old sons. My 7 year old has a hard time learning to read and write so I figured introducing some sight words in a fun way could help him. We’ve played a few times now, he loves to play this with me and he’s learned a few words by sight already! Definitely a great teaching tool!

Zingo, sight words, is an excellent activity for children who are beginning to read. Students enjoy playing this game and it builds their confidence.

This game is great for learning sight words. Unfortunately the game and box were damaged during shipping. The game still works but it’s unfortunate when something new comes damaged.

My son is about to start Prep and beginning to recognize sight words, so this game will come in very useful. So far he loves it, and operating the zinger is a fun novelty.
