Description
This travel bingo game turns the view from the car window into a lively spotting contest for kids, with two bingo pads, coloured pencils and a set of instructions kept together in a neat card box. One pad is for things to spot in the countryside: a cow, a horse, a swan, a tractor, fir trees, a field of wheat, a tulip, a village church and a rabbit. The other covers things to spot in and around town, from a taxi, a postbox and traffic lights to a bicycle, an ambulance, a dog, a petrol pump, an aeroplane and a zebra crossing. Each picture sits in its own bright coloured square, easy to read at a glance.
The box puts it simply: this is a travel bingo set for road trips and days out. We like it for the long motorway stretch, the slow drive through a market town or a country walk where everyone keeps an eye out for a swan on the river. Each player takes a sheet and ticks off the pictures with a pencil as they spot them, and the first to fill their card shouts bingo. It keeps kids looking out of the window instead of at a screen, and grown-ups can play along too.
The box is card, the pads are paper and the pencils are wood, so the whole set is light and simple to pack. Closed, the box is 18.3cm long, 12cm wide and 3cm deep, small enough to slip into a glovebox, a seat-back pocket or a day bag. Keep it somewhere dry, as card and paper do not like spills, and pop the pencils back in the box after each game so they are ready for the next trip. Tucked into the car before a long drive, it makes a cheerful present for a family that loves getting out and about.
