If
you’re looking for a creative way to help your child learn to tell time, this
might be the perfect fit. In this board game, players compete to be the first
one to get across the finish line. How do you do that? By telling time, of
course! The game comes with a plane clock with movable hands. Every turn, draw
a card and move the clock hands so it shows the time on the card. Pull down the
tail fin to check if you’re right. If you are, you can move to the next spot on
the gameboard that is the same color as the card! This game’s self-checking
property means kiddos can play and learn with you or on their own. Includes a
plane clock, game board, 60 time cards, 4 player pieces, and guide. For 2-4
players ages 4 and up.
