Advantages: fun
Disadvantages: none
This pick and mix card game from Orchard toys is good fun for children aged 3 to 7 years old. It has been around for several years now. I have played with it in a few different play settings.
This game is available from several toy shops between £5 and £8
This toy is basically a set of people cards that have been cut into 3 . Heads bodies and legs. The idea of the game is to match them up to make a complete person.
There is a policeman, a cow girl, a fireman. a pirate, a king , a clown, a boy , a girl ,a nurse There are a 12 characters in all 36 cards but I can not remember who they are.
There are several ways you can play this game depending on the level of the players . You can use this game as a simple matching game just trying to build the people correctly. You could play this with one child as a simple matching exercise like this or you could play it in a group of children with the pieces shuffled and given out to players each player takes it in turn to add a piece of person correctly . The person who is first to get rid of his/her cards wins .
This game produces chuckles and giggles from the players as they make the most bizarre people, A fireman with a clowns head or a schoolboy with a dress on.
This game will stimulate a lot of language and discussion. Good for using with a topic about people or clothes. Links with early learning goals in personal social and emotional development .
This toy are made of very strong card with a wipe clean surface the characters fun and brightly coloured.
Would I recommend this game? Yes its fun
Summary: A crad game of getting the right cards to make a person
