Zingo would have been my overall winner at the 2009 South African Toy of the Year Awards.  Priced at R140.00 this highly affordable game is both entertaining and educational at the same time, providing play value for the whole family.  A quick family game and children learn how to play it without adult supervision in a trice. They are fascinated by the zip-zap ’machine’ that dispenses the pictures. 

Zingo is essentially a Bingo/Lotto-type game which requires observation and matching skills.  The more proficient your child gets in spotting what he/she needs to cover his / her board, the more competitive the game becomes.

Perfect for 4 – 6 year olds.  Seven and eight year olds continue to enjoy the game with their younger siblings.  Up to 6 players can play at a time.
