Spingo is a twist on the traditional Bingo game. The pictures on the board differ from each other in one or more ways. The dice represent the different elements that can be used to describe each picture such as size, color, and shape. The children love throwing the dice and checking their boards for the corresponding picture. On the way, they get lots of practice in describing objects accurately and in following multi component directions. There are four bingo boards for each of the four (delicious) themes for up to four players. Each board can be played on two skill levels, and includes a visual aid to help the child formulate a grammatically correct description. Also included are the seven dice, forty bingo chips, and instructions including bonus activity ideas. Spingo improves sentence structure, descriptive language, and the ability to follow multi-component instruction. Spingo is intended for use by therapists, educators, or parents. Spingo is a tried and true game. It has been used effectively in language therapy to improve a variety of language goals. Children are engrossed in the game, and beg to play one more time!
