This ingenious update to bingo-style play brings a whole new skill set to the game, enabling children to learn and practice a variety of language skills amidst nonstop fun! At the outset, players are provided with boards with matching themes (cupcakes, ice cream, balls or lollipops). The caller (different each round) then identifies the picture to be covered by rolling several dice at once and using the symbols on the upturned die faces as the basis for his or her verbal description. It's a delightful approach that instantly jumpstarts players' brains in ways that simultaneously educate and entertain. The caller increasingly gains skill in using descriptive language to express the singular picture represented by the icons on multiple dice, while opponents hone listening skills and their ability to follow auditory directions. There are several ways to play included in the instructions, each with differing educational benefits, as well as variations suitable for ensuring shorter or longer games. Includes 7 special dice, 8 double-sided boards, 40 bingo chips and rule booklet! For 2 to 4 players.
