Students love it

Fun addition to our literacy rotations. Students are excited about the weird collective nouns and love the facts. Promotes discussion and teamwork. Cards are high quality.

Thank you for the feedback! We love that your students are excited about the collective nouns and keep asking to play.

Highly recommend!

Absolutely fantastic resource! We use this in our pediatric clinic for kids working on vocabulary expansion and categorization skills. The collective nouns are so engaging, and the surprising animal facts keep the children hooked during therapy sessions. Go Fish-style play makes it feel like a game, not work. Highly recommend for SLPs and families � our kids ask for it every session!

Thank you so much for your review! Appreciate your support!

This is a gem for my Year 2/3 class. The cards beautifully combine literacy (collective nouns), science facts, and social skills through the gameplay. My kids were thrilled learning 'a parliament of owls' and 'a murder of crows' and the facts had them so engaged. Will be buying Vol. 2!

Thank you for such a lovely review! It makes our day to know the game is working well in your Year 2/3 classroom. Looking forward to you trying Vol. 2 when it�s ready!
