5.0 out of 5 stars The kids I work with love this game, September 4, 2007

By	HC (California, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Go Fish Game Cards (Cards)

I see quite a few kids in my work as a therapist. I have found that the kids who are old enough to understand the rules (usually 5+) really love this game. This game, in my experience, can benefit kids who are learning their letters, learning to read, and/or kids who are working on their speaking abilities. They like it since it's a fun way for them to practice and learn without it feeling like school or homework. I would actually recommend this to parents and I'd say you should set aside some time a couple nights a week to play this and other (educational) games with your kid(s) since part of what makes the kids like it is that you're there playing with them. It's a great way to encourage and support them as they learn. Also, this doesn't have to just be about the letters since each card has an animal on it and the type of animal written out below so it can also help with reading. For example, I'll ask the child, "Do you have an 'A' as in 'Alligator'?" and they will have to do the same on their turn so they learn to associate the picture of the animal with the word. And, of course, they love to win and then count out how many pairs they got (good for learning/practicing counting too!). Basically, I can't speak highly enough of this game. It encourages learning, practicing numbers, letters, reading, speaking, and healthy competition, and gives them some always needed attention at the same time.
P.S. - For kids who don't get the rules just yet, it can be played as a matching game!

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice cards!, April 16, 2009

By	RebeccaJeanRN "perpetual student!" (California, USA) - See all my reviews

I liked these cards, but wish three things: 1) that they included more interesting fish pictures (like sharks, whales, etc). All the fish sort of look alike to me! 2) I wish that the pictures of the fish were more distinct in how they appear on the cards (the fish are 'lost' in the pictures by all the background colors & scenarios). And 3)I wish the numbers on the cards were larger.
