Score: 92.9%
What the testers said: “Easy for children to use alone, with clear instructions and simple rules. A great tool for introducing new countries, it is a colourful game, which captured the children’s attention. Though at first, pronunciation was bad, by the end of the trial all the children were pronouncing the countries correctly. It was suitable for a range of abilities, allowing the more able to be challenged with facts about the countries while lower abilities loved talking about and matching the pictures. A lovely game.”

What the testers said: “There are lots of inventive ways to use this game, which is educational but fun! Our foundation stage used it to learn capital letters and make three- letter words. The children found it challenging and thought it was much better than using a pen and paper. Helped to improve memory and cognitive skills.”
