Thomas & Friends DVD BINGO

thomas.jpgI remember when my boys received this as a Christmas gift thinking that was a gift they won’t like.  Well, I admit that I was very wrong.  My sons (4 yrs and 27 mo) love this game. Quickly it became a family favorite on game night. This game is entertaining as well as educational.
There are 3 game settings to choose from, standard bingo, blackout and pattern. The game comes with six brightly colored sturdy, double sided bingo cards.  On each game square is of a Thomas character is displayed with a specific colored background. With all the choices for recognition (character, color, number or letter) it will be difficult to frustrate your child. Even my youngest can recognize charactures and know to put a chip on the square.  My four year old is learning to recognize higher numbers. A bonus is he has been spending time playing this game by himself since the numbers are called every 15 seconds and he doesn’t have to do anything but wait and watch.

Another feature is the “WILD” screen. They play a short Thomas movie clip, then the caller directs you to a specific color but you get to pick which space to cover. We continue until everyone gets bingo then click on the “Bingo” word and we all celebrate together. It has been a favorite for our  family game night!  It sells on Amazon for $18.98.
