Toy Review – Red Rover

12th November 2011 By Susan Mann Leave a Comment

My oldest Lucas, who is 4 absolutely love playing games. He is very competitive and loves to win. We keep playing games with him to teach him its not the winning that counts but the taking part. Sometimes he gets upset when he doesn’t win, so instead of letting him win all the time, he looses equally that way he understands he gets his turn to win but has fun doing it. 
Red Rover is a great game for preschoolers and early school age children. Red Rover is a talking dog, who asks the children to pick a bone which is a certain number, shape or colour. The bones are laid out on the floor face down and the child has to remember where each one is, take the correct one back to Rover and put it in his mouth. He excitedly says well done or try again. If the child doesn’t quite catch what Rover is asking for he can press his nose for him to repeat. The winner is the person with the most bones at the end of the game.
There are two levels to the game, one the basic colour game and a more advanced one with shapes and numbers.  Lucas has just started school so he’s learning his letters and numbers, etc. He can play level 2 when he gets too good at level one. Where as Tyler who is 2 1/2 is learning his colours loves to play level one.  I love the fact this game is suitable to both ages. 
Red Rover is quick and easy to set up. Toddlers can be up and running within a few minutes, perfect for those short attention spans. The game doesn’t take long either, but they will keep playing it over and over again. Also all the bones are stored in a compartment at the back of him, so you don’t have to keep them in a box which you inevitably lose parts, it’s all there for you. Fantastic.
I would highly recommend Red Rover, he is fun, quick and easy to set up and best of all everything is stored together. The children learn while having fun and there is two levels of playing meaning it is suitable for older children. I would recommend for anyone ages 3-6.
