Technically, this seems to be more of a learning activity than an actual "game," but my Pre-K kids are eager to use it. It can be adjusted to the different learning abilities in the classroom. The easiest pages have the kids match shapes or colors and the most advanced pages (in Book Three) have them indicate the beginning or ending letter sounds of pictures, and identifying those letters. There are also math activities. The children can self-correct, which they love because they don't like to make "mistakes" and it's a good lesson for "see, even if you make a mistake you can fix it!" which helps their enthusiasm for the game. There are several levels of thought that go into using this activity...trying to remember to match the colored squares in order to indicate the correct answer, recognizing similarities and differences in pictures, as well as some more abstract concepts. I wholeheartedly recommend this game for Pre-K and kindergarten-aged students! I just wish there were many more activity books to go with it.

I have my own kids and I do daycare. This is always a big hit when I take it out! You will get the most out of it if you use it one on one, or a very small group (2 or 3 max). I love that it grows with my kids. They start off easy and become progressively difficult as you move through the levels. One of my favorite features is that it allows kids to self-correct. They can see what they got wrong and fix it. Discovery Toys are some of the best toys on the market, and once again they have outdone themselves! I highly recommend this product to anybody with kids 3-5.
