We love games form Orchard Toys, they are simple, bright and great for helping development from memory skills, to basic literacy and numeracy and of course they are all great fun.
Orchard Toys has been winning awards for it's educational toys and games for many years now and we have chosen some of our favourites.
For early years Orchard Toys has a number of simple card games.
Shopping List is a lovely award winning memory game based on a shopping trip. Each player gets a shopping trolley and a shopping list with a number of items listed with a small picture. cards for all of the items are placed face down and players take it in turns to reveal a card - it it's on your list then place it in your shopping basket.
Slug in a Jug is a rhyming game with real 'urgh' appeal. At it's most simple you have to match the cards that rhyme. Taking it a step further you can encourage children to develop rhyming sentences. This game links to the National Curriculum Key Stage 1.
Spotty Dog is a simple counting game. Spin the spinner and match the number to the dogs spots and then see how many biscuit bones are in the basket.
