Snack-O-Saurus Rex

I’m a speech-language pathologist working in an elementary school, and out of the 7 new games I recently added to my therapy room, this is the one every single student keeps reaching for! The dinosaur launcher is not only adorable and engaging, but it also doubles as a standalone tool to target fine motor skills and imaginative play. The colorful “snacks” make it easy to target vocabulary, categorization, and color matching, and of course - it’s a perfect opportunity for turn-taking practice. The gameplay is easy to adapt, which makes it a dream for therapists. Whether I’m working on articulation, following directions, or expressive language goals, I can use this game with any student, at any level. It’s also a hit across the board with OT and early intervention colleagues - so much so that we already had to buy two more for other therapy rooms because clients didn’t want to stop playing! From a play-based learning perspective, this game is gold. The board is visually engaging, the components are sturdy and well-made, and there’s no rigid “finish line,” so it encourages open-ended play. I love that players can move in either direction on the board - it keeps things fresh and accessible for kids with varying attention and cognitive skills. The only minor note: sometimes the dino’s tongue doesn’t retract fully, especially if a little one pulls too hard. Not a dealbreaker - just worth checking before each round. Still, it’s held up really well, even with heavy daily use. Bottom line: This game is cute, durable, highly motivating, and incredibly versatile. Whether you’re a therapist, teacher, or parent, this is an amazing addition to your toolkit. Can’t recommend it enough! NOTE: Amazon made me pick exactly one age to comment on appropriateness for, but it’s literally a hit with ALL ages from early intervention through high school (my highschoolers love it), and all different populations ranging in severity and goal area.

I got this game for one of my grandkids for Christmas about year ago. They loved it so much they’ve almost worn the game out! It’s quick and easy to learn and easy to play. No reading is required. They quickly learned how to use the Dino head to grab snacks. And it keeps them busy playing because if one of them lost, it’s easy to play another quick game that they might win this time. Everyone is happy and everyone wins! (Eventually!) Age range 3 year old to 8 year old.

Such a fun game for younger kids! My 3 year old loves when we play this on game nights! Easy to understand!

Purchased for 5 year old gift. Was a huge hit. Well made. Bonus no batteries needed. Interesting for older kids to play along. Highly recommend!

It's cute, it's different, and it's fun. Was a hit with 6 year old and 2 adults. We like that there's no finish line and you can move in either direction. The dino and cave people are really cute. The board is visually appealing with details and fun colors. Easy to learn. Quality of the materials is great. Seems like it will last. Fun for all ages. Only complaint is that sometimes the tongue doesn't retract all the way in and can lean to one side, which makes aiming tricky. Of course, that could have something to with the fact that a 6 year old was pulling at it and playing with it prior to playing the game. No big deal, just check it before you pull the trigger/press the spike.

My son (5 years old) LOVES this game! He asks to play it almost every day! It was easy enough for him to learn, it doesn’t take long to set up, and you can get through the game in a decent amount of time even with 4 players. I will say, the tongue has shown durability, despite my son pressing it several times, just for fun, in between rounds. Honestly, no regrets in buying this!

Super simple fun game for my 5 year old

I use this game in my therapy sessions with younger clients, and it’s been a great addition to my toolkit. The interactive dinosaur really captures their attention, and the game naturally encourages turn-taking, following directions, and impulse control — all while having fun. The rules are simple enough for kids to pick up quickly, and the gameplay is short, which works well for limited session times. The materials are durable and easy to sanitize between uses. Highly recommend for therapists or educators looking for a playful way to build social and cognitive skills.

We love this game! Easy to follow instructions. Can play as a family or the kids (7 and 3) can do it themselves. It’s easy to set up, good quality and lots of fun! The magnet tongue on the dinosaur provides endless entertainment!

This is a great game for younger children. Over quite quickly so we adapted the rules to get 3 each of the same snacks instead od 2, to make it last a little longer, which worked better. It was very engaging and we all enjoyed playing

Great fun game, we had plenty of laughs playing this game
