Lucy Hammett Games Wildlife Bingo Board Game

A game for 2 people to 25. Years ago I bought the ocean bingo (same game type and company) for my grand daughter and we played it often. The magic happened when her younger first grade sister started playing. Without realizing what was happening, I realized she could read all of the ocean animals and descriptions! She doesn’t care for reading but she can sure read about the ocean now. I was so excited I ordered the wildlife bingo to increase her reading. It’s working! They have many versions of this Bingo game and I may continue this form of encouraging reading! The games are well worth the money and when we have finished with them, I will pass them along to a teacher or youth club.

My grandson loves this game. We bought 4 different varieties. I wish it had more than 6 large cards. The markers are a joke. They are little paper squares. I bought separate 1 inch plastic markers to use instead.

I have a 7 and 11-year-old boy took this game on vacation for something to do in the hotel room it's not a very big box which is nice when you have to pack it The boys absolutely loved this game .they're crazy about animals would definitely recommend this game to this game my only complaint is if you had small children I'm not sure this game would be for them because for example they have things like they don't just have deer they have different breeds of deer some I didn't even know existed so they could match up the pictures but if they're just looking for deer it might be a little confusing for maybe kids under 5

This is a fun game, but could use improvements. The cardboard is a little thin for the boards and cards. The 'bingo chips' are tiny cardboard squares....I bought plastic bingo chips to play. Also, there are only 6 game boards - very expensive game for what you get. However, my kids love it because of the pictures/cards - makes the game unique. On the back of each card is a description of the word.....my boys love reading each one. The downside is that the word is on the back. We usually like to spread out the cards, so my kids can choose which one to pick. We can't do that with this game, since the words are also on the back of the cards. Even when we have the cards in a pile, the kids know which one is next to pick.....kinda doesn't make it 'as exciting.' It's fine if you are calling out the words/pictures. I have different versions of this game, since the kids like them.

I bought this game for my four year old niece who LOVES animals. She has not had a lot of experience with specific breeds of different wild animals (example: Mule Deer and Whitetail Deer). So when we played this for the first time, I couldn't believe how fast she learned the names for all of them. The pictures on each sheet and card are great quality. The cards are thick enough not to get bent or torn easily and we have played this game at least 30 times and it is still in great condition. I am now considering buying other bingo games just like this one since I found one for Weather and Space. I think this game is a wonderful learning tool for young children. I have learned from it as well. I had never heard of a Thirteen-lined Squirrel before seeing it on here.

Purchase the Animal Bingo game to play with my grandkids, ages 4 and 6. We all enjoy it. The pictures are very nice and the kids are quickly learning more about our wildlife. The bingo cards and the animal cards are made from fairly sturdy cardboard. The markers are lighter cardboard, but work fine and there are plenty of them. Go for it, it's a nice game set.

This game, made by the same people who make "Bug Bingo," is a favorite in our house. All of our kids started playing it, and now they even take it down and set it up to play all by themselves without any parental guidance.This game does a great deal of education, cleverly disguised as "fun." The kids really get into the game, and they can now identify a whole bunch of animals that I hadn't even heard of before I sat down to play this with them. I highly recommend it.

I have used an earlier edition of this game but wanted my own. I knew from reading the reviews that the quality had likely changed. It has. If you fold and tear (or cut?) carefully and perhaps laminate the cards it's still a great game. I'm using some plastic chips from another Bingo game rather than tearing apart the paper ones included in this game.
