Learning Resources Sum Swamp Maths Board Game for Kids Aged 5+

Played numerous times today with my kids (age 9, 7 and 5). Such a fun game! Maths element (simple subtraction and addition) challenged my 5 year old (in a good way - not intimidating) and was helpful for my 7 y.o (who admittedly struggles with maths). Maths aside - it is a super game, easy to grasp and hugely enjoyable. Perfect for kids age 5 - 9 (my 9 year old could do the maths standing on his head but still loved the game - particularly the 'endless loop').

This is a lovely simple game which really appeals to our 5yo. She loves the little animal game pieces, and we love the fact that we're helping her gain confidence with maths as we play. She's been really anxious about maths lessons at school, but this game lightened the mood a lot and she keeps asking to play. Definite win.

My 5 year old daughter loves this game. Its perfect for any child who is learning to add and take away. Each piece is a lovely moulded creature of the swamp, there are shortcuts, endless loops and many other bonus squares. Most of all they will learn to: 1) add and take away any number from 0 to 12 2) recognise the + or - 3) learn about odd or even 4) learn about counting forwards and backwards 5) As time goes on these will also learn to add and take-away very quickly (without fingers) This game has won endless awards and if you buy any maths learning toy, make it this one. Out of all our educational board games this is by far a favourite in our house.

I bought this for my 4 year old's birthday as she is interested in numbers and starting school in Sept. She absolutely loves it and begs me to play 'just one more game', I always put my foot down after the 4th go! We have had it 1 week and play almost every day, but already I have noticed that she is faster at calculating the answers and using her fingers to count on less often. The game features shortcuts, the Endless Loop and other special squares that can propell you forward (or backwards) depending on whether you roll a +/- which keeps things interesting as even if she is very far behind me on the gameboard, she knows that there is still a good chance to win because of these special squares so she doesn't give up. Excellent game design, good quality board and counters - a great purchase.

This board game is simple but effective. It is great for young kids learning to add and subtract. I use it with my son with special needs. It is quite a short game so I am able to hold their interest in playing and it does what it is supposed to do. Playing regularly has made a great difference is his ability to play and his desire to play. Now that he understands the concept of addition and subtraction he wants to play. So I can now attempt to transfer some of these skills to other board games. It helps with turn taking and socialization. Great game

We bought this for our sons 6th birthday. He's a little behind on his maths skills so wanted to help improve this without him thinking it was school work. The game is amazing for this, lasted long enough but wasn't too long that he restless and wanted to play elsewhere. Highly recommended.

Excellent, my 6 year old loves it! Really helps with her maths and most of all it's fun! Better then doing pen to paper. Highly recommend this game for little ones. My 3 year old likes it, but obviously needs help playing it. Great family game.

My 6 year old loves this game, it’s fun for adults too.

La calidad es excelente, el juego es muy divertido para niños pequeños y es una genial forma de reforzar las sumas y restas

Super pour les enfants en plein apprentissage des calculs permet de faire les devoirs en jouant. Petit point à noter va uniquement jusqu a 6+6 on travaille donc uniquement jusqu a la table de 6

My kid loves playing this game!

Es entretenido, ideal para niños que se están iniciando con las matemáticas, lo compré para mi hijo de 6 años, hemos jugado toda la familia, nos encanta, muy contenta con la compra

Kleindochter vond het een leuk spel.
