A Fun Way to Learn to Read the Clock
Now you can play your favorite Zingo!® game and teach time all at once! Zingo! is a fun and interactive game that brings fast-paced excitement and learning to the classic game of Bingo! In this time telling version, players will learn to read the hour and minute hands on an analog clock and make the translation to a digital clock. With two levels of play, this is a great way to begin teaching children to tell time and a perfect game for them to grow with!
• Ages 5 and up

Includes
• 1 Zingo!® Zinger 
• 32 Hour Tiles 
• 32 Minute Tiles 
• 6 Double-sided Zingo!® Cards 
• Instructions and Learning Guide 
Our Thoughts:
This game is a great and unique way to teach your child how to tell time. My son is eight so he was a bit old for this one, but we played it anyway enjoyed it. We know several little ones who would benefit from this game, and played with them as well. This game was well designed for small children to catch onto quickly.
The pieces are large enough for little fingers to grab easily. The cards, much like bingo cards, have two sides--red and green. The green side is easy (you just match the numbers on the card to the number pieces) and the red side is harder (you actually must know how to read the analog clock in order to match number pieces).
When playing this game, you really must think of it as playing bingo! Our little ones enjoyed yelling ZINGO! every time they would win! 
Teachers will love this game for their preschool students! It's a fun and easy time filler for slower school days!
