## Description

Product Description Zingo Word Builder is one of ThinkFun's most popular and bestselling games, and is the winner of an Oppenheim Platinum Award, among others. It's a fun pre-reading game for ages 4 and up that helps children build reading skills, and is one of the best gifts you can buy for kids. Zingo Word Builder is made with high quality components, and comes with a very clear and easy to understand instruction manual - you'll be able to play within minutes of opening the box. Like all of ThinkFun's games, Zingo Word Builder is built to develop critical thinking skills. Playing will improve language skills through fun and fast placed play. From the Manufacturer Build reading skills, three letters at a time. This word building version of Zing is the perfect confidence booster for early readers. Ideal for players who are just learning how to put letters together to form words, it's great for teaching spelling and vocabulary. With two levels of play, it's designed to engage and support both beginner and more experienced readers. Just slide the Zinger and claim tiles to fill your Zing card with three letter words - pure Zing "F-U-N".

Review: Definitely recommend! - Buy this game! Bought the word builder version for my four year old who did amazingly! Will notes that it’s hard to make the game competitive if you’re helping your child sound out words but may be good to play with more than two people. Great for phonics and identifying consonants vs vowels, etc. and making it fun! It’s also nice that there’s a beginner side and a more advanced side to the cards. Honestly, we have a different version (?the original version) of Zingo which was gifted to us by a relative who is a former first grade teacher and is now a reading specialist. Our kids (ages 2-4) can all play that and enjoy it. I recommend all of the Zingo games we’ve purchased thus far! They teach some gaming strategy (checking out your card before play begins and checking out opponents’ cards), the cards, zinger (dealer), and chips are durable, and the games can be played by ages younger than listed with some adult assistance.
Review: Engaging and Educational - It's perfect for on-the-go fun or for small spaces. The components are well-made and durable, ensuring it can withstand energetic little hands. The game itself is incredibly engaging. My child loves the fast-paced action of matching tiles and building words. It's a fantastic way to sneak in some early reading practice while having a blast. The rules are simple enough for young children to understand, but the game offers enough challenge to keep older kids interested. Overall, Zingo Word Builder is a fantastic choice for parents looking for a fun and educational game. It's compact, well-made, and delivers on both entertainment and learning value. Highly recommend!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what age group is this for**
A: Works well with preschoolers to early elementary age children

**Q: What is the difference between zingo word builder game and thinkfun's what's gnu game? thank you.**
A: I don't have the game What's Gnu.  Based upon the description, they seem very similar.  The different seems to be that Zingo Word Builder has three words per card and is played more like a challenge game.  What's Gnu seems to be true world building, card by card.  I purchased Zingo because I have multiple Zingo games in my classroom. Once the students learned to play one game, they could easily figure out how to play Zingo 1-2-3, Word Builder, Sight Word, etc.  Hope this helps.

**Q: Since here are images on the tiles, would you say that this game will help little ones learn to read words? I'm afraid they'll just stick to the image**
A: Yes, seeing the letters and the picture does help little children learn to read words.  You can reinforce the letter-word association by quickly reviewing each tile after the game has ended.  Cover either the photo or the letters and ask the child to identify what is covered, but don't let this review detract from the fun of the game.  If you take a peek at alphabet books for little children, you will see a picture that begins with the letter on that particular page, helping the child learn the sounds of letters.

**Q: How many words are included? And how many tiles?**
A: Hello.  There are 24 sight words and 72 tiles. Thank you.

*by A***R on July 19, 2024*

I’m a teacher and this was a gift for a student who loves Zingo. It’s a very fun, easy game for those at independent reading levels. I work in a self contained special education room and this has held up to our level of use. It was fantastic quality, easy to store without taking up too much room, and had all pieces accounted for.
