5.0 out of 5 stars Kids Dig This Game, March 1, 2008

As a speech pathologist at Play on Words, I am always looking for good games to encourage language. Kids three years and up want a little challenge in their games--not everything left to chance! Diggity Dog is their first pick for fun. Choose your puppy and press the doghouse to listen for the number of barks. Count them out as you land on a space, dig a hole and the little bone sticks to your dog's magnetic nose. See if the color on the underside of the bone matches your dog and collect all three before heading home to win. There's just enough action to keep little hands busy and skill required to keep minds churning. Playing Diggity Dog involves auditory memory (remembering the number of barks), visual memory (remembering where your colored bones are), counting, and conversation negotiating turn-taking and discussing strategy. These are all skills that contribute to language development.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Game but Expensive Batteries, January 12, 2008

My youngest kids (age 3 & 5) really enjoy this game. The barking dog instead of dice is a fun gimmic (along the lines of the popping dice from the old Trouble game.) One thing to note, though, is that the dog takes three watch batteries. After having the game 4-5 months, we had to pay more than $[...] to replace the three batteries to keep the dog going. If he runs out again, we will just use dice.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 3 yr. old daughter loves it!, January 13, 2008

My 3 year old daughter loves this game. It does have small pieces that would be a choking hazard for smaller children, so we play when her younger brother is napping. Just for BIG kids, she loves it. She can set up the game by herself, which means opening up the board and placing one magnetic bone on each little dirt pile. You push the dog house in the middle of the board and listen for 1, 2, or 3 barks, and then move your dog the right number of spaces. Then you use your dog's nose to pick up the magnetic bone on that spot (if there is one) and put in a dog's house according to the color on the underside of the bone. It helps with counting some, but mostly with taking turns and learning how to win and lose. I think kids get a big kick out of how the dogs can pick up the bones (thanks to magnets)! Enjoy!
