Absolutely inappropriate game for children

Advantages: I can't see any
Disadvantages: It is totally sick

Although I did not purchase this "toy," I was horrified when I saw in the toy aisle at Target in Tulsa, OK. What is this kind of toy teaching children? This isn't "science" - this is SICK! And it's labeled for kids eight and older - what are we trying to do - turn our kids into serial killers? There are a lot better ways to present science in a fun way to children without making it so sickening and potentially damaging to them. What's next - a game ...
...asking Target to pull it from their shelves. Kids have enough dangers today to avoid, like the Internet, chat rooms, pedophiles, even the media, without their toys giving them nightmares. Please think about this before you put out another "toy" like this. Leslie Ringley, Tulsa, OK - lesliejean1@hotmail.com ...

Review of Galt Giant Floor Puzzle Jungle

Rhyming Fun

Advantages: Good Educational Game
Disadvantages: Have to make sure that you don't lose any of the pieces

...a lot of resources by Galt Educational, most of which have been money well spent. They are forever bringing out new games etc but it's hard to keep up with them unless your school is blessed with huge amounts of funding! I bought this Rhyme-Hide game when I first started teaching Reception a few years ago, I can't remember the exact price I paid but in Galt's most recent catalogue this game is priced at £16.95. ~ Contents ~ * 6 animal baseboards, ...
...Who can play? ~ Galt advertise this as being suitable for Key stage 1 children (5-7 year olds) but depending on ability this age bracket could be changed, I have for example used this with bright 4 year olds who are able to use their phonetic knowledge to 'sound out' regular CVC words. ~ How many can play? ~ Between 2 - 6 people, just be aware that the larger the group that is playing the longer each child has to wait between turns so the size ...

Review of Galt Rhyme-Hide

Ever wanted to sound like a Chipmunk?

Advantages: fun
Disadvantages: only 6 seconds recording time

If you have ever wanted to sound like a chimpmunk, have a yearn to transform your deep voice into something of a higher pitch, or maybe fancy yourself as a dalek impersonator then this is the toy for you. "Yada Yada Yada" is a cunning little toy which records up to 6 seconds of speech, or any other sound you fancy, as you hold down the "say" button, and then can play it back at the press of a button, cunningly labelled "play". If you hold the little ...
...button a little red LED light in the top shows you it is recording, and it beeps once at the start and twice at the end of your recording when you either take your finger off the button or run out of time. There is a little dial which can be turned to alter the pitch and speed of the recording from very low to extremely fast and silly, or "warp" as they call it. You can turn the dial through all the different pitches as you play, or keep it in one ...
