Welcome back to Wishlist After Dark! I'm Penny, here with Sunny and our sparkly showman, Marty Dazzle. Folks, it's Zingo! Bingo from ThinkFun, an award-winning matching game. The perfect gift for preschoolers four and up who're just starting to read! Oh, I love this one! Picture a four-year-old ripping off the paper and yelling Zingo! And the star of the show, Sunny? The Zinger! Slide it and out pop the tiles.

Every tile's got a picture and a word, Marty. So kids match pictures and see words every single time. Wait, it sneaks in reading? Clever. And folks, it won the Oppenheim Gold Award and the Parents' Choice Gold Award! Two to six players race to fill a card, so the whole family gets in on it. But wait, there's more! No batteries needed. Sunny, what's in the box? Six double-sided cards, seventy-two tiles and the Zinger.

Just open it and play! Okay, fine print time. It's got small parts, so it isn't for kids under three. Oh no, not baby brother! And listings can't agree on the age: most say four and up, an older one says four to eight. Plus, booster packs with new words are sold separately. So Penny, who should skip it? Kids who already read well, Sunny. For beginners? Great find. Eight point eight from me! That Zinger had me at hello.

Eight point four! Pictures plus words is such a smart start. Seven point eight from me, since the age window's short. Our After Dark Score is eight point three out of ten, up with Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza and Sequence in the top eight of sixteen games. For any preschooler learning to read, it's a buy. The link's on our site and in the description, folks. See you next time!
