TEPT6062 - Trend Alphabet Bingo Learning Game

I honestly cannot say enough how much I love this game. Best $6 or $7 I've spent in a long time. It was a last minute "why not" purchase as a Christmas present for my 4 year old daughter. She wasn't exactly thrilled when she opened it. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles kids nowadays are accustomed to. After one game, this became our new family favorite. I've been struggling to help her learn the letters of the alphabet before she starts preschool in the fall. I've tried a lot of ways (mainly from Pinterest which typically is a lifesaver) but she would get bored with it after 10-15 minutes. I think because she sees this as a game (which it is) instead of something she "has" to do, she loves it and a month later we still play a few times a day. At its core it's your basic bingo game. Everything is paper. The large letter board seems like regular weight paper, and the bingo cards, letters, and red dots are a heavier weight card stock. Our letter board has a few minor rips in it and has had water spilled on it at least once, but it still serves its purpose. If you are able to, I would recommend laminating everything (especially if using it in a classroom setting). My daughter is really catching on and can now independently recognize every letter of the alphabet! In the beginning when she only recognized about half of the letters, we had her start at A and point to each letter while saying/singing her ABCs until she got to the letter on the card. I thought she would be over it by the second game, but surprisingly she loved it! I'm so glad I bought this game, it has truly increased her confidence and has her eager to learn again! Would buy this again in a heartbeat.

Purchased to assist in teaching our 4 year old alphabet recognition. She is able to recite the alphabet but is unable to identify all the letters. This is a great letter recognition way to keep it fun. The some of the pieces are not high qualify but effective and worth the cost.The game has (calling cards)26 alphabet paper cardstock pieces that measure 2 1/4" with perforated lines to separate them. A foldable alphabet paper mat 17" x 11 1/2" that you place the calling cards onto once that letter has been drawn and called out. Six heavy weight paper sheets of bingo chips w/ perforated edges that you push out to use as the bingo chips totaling 33 chips per sheet. Thirty six card stock playing cards that measure 9 x 6 1/2" that you place the chip on when a letter has been called out. A instructional sheet..... Most of the game is a heavier weigh paper, the cards you place the chips on are heavier than the rest and everything is large enough for little one to quickly identify what letter has been called and recognize it on their playing card. The whole family playing and it definitely kept her attention and she was excited to recognize her letter and well as scanned her parents cards to see if we had a match too. I would recommend this game for the need it is intended for which is an educational fun need. The pieces will last as long as its supervised.

I bought this to teach my son his alphabet and it's been fun using it. I bought this one due to it having lower and upper case letters. While the bingo card is small with only 8 squares, we play with 3 cards to make it more of a challenge. I can see the improvement of letter recognition all while having fun. He gladly plays this game.

Great practice tool!

Such a great way to have fun with your kids and help teach them without them even knowing it! My little girl is going into kindergarten and we have been doing all the things you do to prep your kids but she is tired of us singing and using flash cards. So for her birthday we bought her this and found a way to sneak in learning while playing! The box comes with everything you would need to play bingo and is very simple to set up. There are several cards with the red dots you would use to put on the cards when your letter is called. They are on a cardboard type paper and they are perforated and just pop out. There are 36 bingo cards. 36. Need I say more. There is also the alphabet that is perforated that you pull apart. Lastly there is a large sheet that has the alphabet on it so as you call the letters you can mark them off as you call them so you know what was called. We have had a ton of fun playing this game. Only thing is the cards have four across on two rows so there are not a whole lot of options of which way to play the game. It gives a few options but it isn't like the normal bingo we think of. However considering that this is for younger children it makes it so they are just long enough to hold their attention. My daughter is excited that she recognizes the letters and also is learning the ones she doesn't really know. Fantastic for your kids!

I have been tutoring a kindergartner that was struggling with her letter sounds and identification. She absolutely loves this game, and it has really helped her recognize her letters and sounds! The colors are great, it’s fun, and the materials are thick and sturdy!

My family loved this game! The LOs loved yelling bingo when they were able to fill in their card.(we fill in the whole card just so they game last a bit longer) Great to help with letter recognition...upper and lower case!

This was perfect for my 4yo to practice letter identification and versatile as we move on to recognizing letter sounds. The tokens were easy for my kiddo to manipulate and board qualitt is great for multiple uses. Highly recommend this brand for educational Bingo games! I'm a previous classroom teacher who has used the sight words and multiplication bingo variations- they're durable and hold up well to a classroom of young kiddos!

I bought it because my students liked the "Numbers Bingo". They loved this one, too. I use it with 4-5 year old students in a group of 25-30. It takes 20-25 minutes. Kids use only English when playing it.

Great Bingo Game to Play with Children to Become Familiar with Letters!!

Muy buena opción para jugar con los niños y a la vez repasar las letras, les gusta y sin duda les ayuda a recordarlas o a comenzar a reconocerlas; además te permite pasar un lindo rato con ellos. Muy recomendable para niños entre 4 y 5 años. Puedes hacerlo más complicado si no muestras la letra ya que se las haya aprendido. El material no es ultraresistente pero cumple bien su función.

This is a great game for children to learn the alphabet, lowercase and uppercase and even if they already know the alphabet to continue practicing. My 3 year old loves it and it’s a fun way to keep practicing and remembering the letters in the alphabet. He knows all them but hates being “drilled” so this is so fun for him.

You can never go wrong with letter BINGO. Fun way to teach children letter sounds.
