Product Description
Product Description
A simple game based on 'lotto' which will help children learn to tell the time. It is suitable for children aged 5 to 9, and for 2 to 4 players. Each player chooses a game board while all the cards are placed face-down on the table. Players take it in turns to pick a card from the table and must say the time out loud. The other players have to try to match the time with one of the fun and familiar activities illustrated on their game board. What time do you eat ice cream? When do you ride a bike? What time do you go on a school trip? Helps children to learn both analogue and digital times, concentrating on 15 minute increments - 'quarter past', 'half past', 'quarter to' and 'o'clock'. It can also be played just using the pictures for very young children. The attractive illustrations can be used to develop many further topics of conversation. The game's play value can be extended by using in conjunction with the Penguin Clock Face. The game helps with maths and literacy skills, and an educational guide on the back of the box shows how the game contributes to your child's education. The game is made with sturdy, durable, wipe-clean board. All Orchard Toys games are developed and designed by our own in-house team, and are tested by local playgroup and junior school children to ensure they are having fun as well as learning.

I usually love orchard games. I have several and they are great fun. But very disappointed with this one. The title implies it helps with telling the time but it doesn't. In schools time is taught via the quarter and half hour and most importantly o'clock. This game however refers to 7.00am or 8.30pm which is completely different. It's also possible to play the game without any reference to telling the time by just matching the picture on the card to the picture on the board so children don't have to tell the time at all and it becomes just a normal lotto game. It would be lovely to see a game which actually deals with telling the time in a way that children would learn. My bright five year old played this with me and is none the wiser about telling the time

This game is fun for learning to tell the time. Each player has a lotto type board with funny time related activities to collect. Quite simple to play and because there are pictures you don't have to be able to tell the time to play it.

I disagree with some of the other reviewers. Yes, you can play the game by simply matching the pictures. However, when we play with my 5 year old son, we get him to tell us what the time is, irrespective of whether he knows he has the time on his bingo board - he knows that the game is played by telling the time, not just using the pictures. When an adult picks up a card, they read out the time without letting him see the picture, and he then checks his board to see if he has it.
We find it excellent - he is now learning to work out the quarter pasts and quarter to times. At the same time, he thoroughly enjoys the game and wants to play again. In due course, the other time style on the card (i.e 7.45, 8.30 etc) will be useful for learning the other style of time telling when he gets to that stage.
Another triumph for Orchard Games we think!

Great for kids of all ages.
I have played this with children of 4, 2 and 1 years. The younger ones can play it much like a matching game whereas my 4yr old son is starting to learn to read the times.
